I recently placed a Currie 9+ in service. I noticed that the drivers side is
leaking onto the rotor and wheel.
I pulled the axle thinking it was a seal issue. Upon pulling the axle out I pulled on the race with my fingers and was able to pull it out with light pressure.
Borrowed a Seal / Bearing Race installer and race did not seat tightly. I suspect
that my leak is related to the bearing race not being set deep or tight enough.
Question is: Should the bearing race be a TIGHT Fit. Could this be causing the
seal not to seat properly (Big Bearing).
I put it all back together with a little RTV around the outside of the seal and still leaking.
NEXT STEP?
