What do I need to know about Bearing Marine Seals?

• Marine seals are a tight fit on the axle journal.
• Some installers smear silicone on this journal to keep the rubber seal in the correct place.
• Marine seals rotate inside the stainless metal retaining ring.
• Friction can create heat up to 100 degrees C.
• You must liberally grease this seal around the outside ring of a marine seal. Insert the seal onto the axle, not into the hub.
• A dry or greaseless marine seal causes excess heat.
