      Haha, don’t worry, these particular bearings are ball bearing and the bearing retainer slides over the bearing and a locking ring fits in a groove on the outer bearing ring and will keep the bearing and retainer in place. But if it was a conical bearing I would for sure share your concern :)

  • @CameronDC-Grimes
    @CameronDC-Grimes Рік тому

    Hey if your axle shaft seal was leaking, its usually caused by the seal retaining plate being bent on the seals surface. Heat up the plate with torch lightly and set retaining plate on table after removing bearing and lock collar ring and lightly tap the rim surface of plate with a small flat sludge until its flate all the way around rim. Change bearings and seals and locking collars and you wont have another Axle leak! But if your plate is slightly bent and you reuse plate without straightening the rim, you can get leaks just 2-4 months after replacing bearings.
