Bearing and seal service
A wheel bearing and seal kit is usually replaced together, because the seal runs against the surface the bearing rides on. When a bearing has been heated, pitted or noisy, the seal can be damaged even if it looks sound. Pressing the bearing and retainer to the right depth matters, since an uneven seat shortens bearing life.
Dana 35 and Dana 44 axles differ in size and bearing layout, so confirm the axle type before any parts come off. Many repairs replace the ring and retainer in the same job, and a clean axle tube makes seating easier. Keep bearing grease clean and free of grit before assembly.
- Count wheels before ordering quantity
- Measure the axle tube before pressing parts
- Replace seals that have been cut or hardened
- Torque hub fasteners to the vehicle’s specification
