I’ve had to replace trailer bearings for a WOF.
My question is which way around does the seal go?
Yes this does seem a dumb question but I do know which way it came out, but is it right in the first instance?

Top.
Top out.
Bottom in.
Cheers that’s what I thought and that’s how it came apart. Just checking it hadn’t been put together wrong previously.
flat face to the washer that goes on the stub axle, grease it. then add a little sand, will run it in a treat.
thats a joke by the way, well the sand bit anyway....
I hope you didn't put any grease on the ID of the seal, goes on dry as its a fixed part. Grease the lips only [emoji16]

dont worry in fact youve made me feel much better as it confused the crap out of me when we did ours...
Nope it'll be fine. Assembled plenty and never worried about getting it spotless and never had a problem. That's boat trailers too.Quote:
