My wheel bearings came with a small rubber seal that has a spring around it.

I didn't see one of these when I pulled the whole deal apart and am guessing that the PO missed putting it in originally.
That said, I don't know where it would go

Anyone have an idea?


(no it's not beat up in this picture, that's just some grease)

Thanks for your help!

I was wondering about the inside diameter. Its been awile since I tore my axel down but i think i remeber a seal that goes behind the wheelbearings that you wouldnt of had to remove to change your bearings.. But its been awhile so im not possitive

I think thats the axle seal...

It doesn't fit over the spindle (it might if i force it), and its slightly larger than the diameter of the axleshaft.

It isnt the inner axle seal because they have a metal ring and are much more sturdy than this

it's not for a 79-83 ...

generic bearings sometimes include "other" parts ...

Looks like a dust seal to me, but for what i have no idea.

I called the company I bought it off, and they say that it IS an inner axle seal after all.

I was comparing it to my marlin HD inner axle seal and figured that there was NO WAY it was one, but I guess that just goes to show how quality the marlin ones really are

ohh fronts ? I thought you were talkin rear bearings ?


so you did the front end !!!! .. why didnt you just buy marlins whole kit then ?

Yeah I finally got around to working on my truck

I went with Big Country Customs out of Abby

They gave me TG rebuild, Marlin HD seals, and Yukon front bearings. No real reason why I didn't go with marlin, and from what I've read the rebuild kits are essentially the same (bearings aside). I asked what bearings they would recommend and they said Yukon, so that's what I went with.

got the pass side all dialed up today and hope to start the drivers on Monday (timing with work and college is a little difficult)
