Have any of you ever replaced the bearings in your front wheel hubs? I recently powdercoated hubs and spindle and I eplaces front wheel bearings and seals. I swear I did everything the book described and used high quality Pivot Works bearing kit. I put it all together and it spins well on my finger but when I install them on the spindle there is resistence. The resistence comes from where the rear seal sits on the spindle. From what i remember, the front wheels used to spin easily, but now the hub barely wants to spin. If I take off that rear seal and install them the hub spins smooth. Its something to do with that rear seal, whats up with that? i have no clue what i did wrong. can someone help?

 

Did you remember to put the metal sleeve in between the seal?
