there should be two seals on the outside of the axle carrier either side
when you put on the sprockethub the seal should run on the edge of the sprocket hub
this seal should have an inside diameter of 43mm and on the brake disc hub it should have a surface where the seal runs on this side it should have a 42mm inside diameter
when i fitted my axle the dealer gave me two 42mm seals and the extra pressure on the sprocket hub seal caused quite a bit of resistance

They are not tappered bearing you do not have to worry about preload. When I changed the wheel bearings in mine I popped out the seal in the bearing and filled it full of synthetic grease. They hardly had and grease in the from the factory.

make sure your seals are in the right side
sprocket seal has 43mm inside diameter
disc side is 42 mm inside diameter
if they are the wrong way it will cause drag
