All,
I am replacing the oil seal in one of the rear axle hubs in our '62
tri-carb. The workshop manual states that the bearing spacer (ATC7569)
should sit proud of the hub and hub gasket 1 to 4 thousandths of an
inch. After installing a new seal and re-installing the R&M bearing,
the spacer is flush with the hub. The old gasket is 9 thousandths
thick; the new one is 12 thou. So, it looks like I need to make a
thicker spacer. Was a bit surprised to see that spacers with different
thicknesses weren't listed in the parts list. Am I missing something?
The O-ring I got from Moss has to be stretched to fit in the slot.
Unless stretching the O-ring gives a necessary reduction in the
thickness, I'm going to fit a larger O-ring. A 91 mm ID with 4 mm
thickness fits well.
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
