[QUOTE="Bazlerker, post: 83193, member: 1377"] I have finally returned to my brakes project...this morning I carefully shimmed the bearings so that the axle has almost zero end float with the bearings fully home. After some cursing & delicate work with a mallet I installed the brass seals...only to find that with the seals flush with the outer face of the hub the hollow axle is locked solid, refuses to rotate.. I assume that I either have to machine the seals very slightly to allow the bearing to protrude without fouling, or not press the seals in quite so much..or...is it possible that shimming the bearings on the axle is not required, allowing the axle some end float? Anyone? [/QUOTE]
