 When you put the Hub on you need to put it on just far enough to get
the flange on and the nut started. The flange has a collar that extends
through the seal and against the bearing this pushes the hub to the
proper position. When you tork the flange down it will seat onto the
taper and stop. The oil flinger should be against the hub to protect the
inner bearing. If it is on too far it is only sheet metal and can be
easily put back into position.
