[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 31041, member: 82"] The gap between the housing and hub is determined by the bearing. Fully seat them and just ensure you take out any end play when they have been installed with the sprockets inside. There should be no end float. With new bearings and cups, there should be no play anyway. I had to machine the washer on one axle when i installed new bearings. You can't adjust the gap between the end of the axle tube and hub. Remember you need to install your new seal. Remove the bearings, replace the wear sleeve if you decide. Sit the new wear ring on, slide the seal down on to the wear ring, make sure its the right way!, slide the bearing on and seat the bearing. This will in turn seat the wear ring in the correct place. Its too thin to tap in place with a brass drift, the bearing does a perfect job. To seat the seal, i assume you don't have an installation tool, get an old bearing cup, cut in tinto two sections, slide the wo halves over the axle between the hub and seal, use a hose clamp to hold it to gether. Hit the end of the axle hub to seat the seal. When its seated, remove the make shift installation tool. Install the bearing in the inside and check for end float. Ensure you grease the bearings when you install them, it does all run in an oil bath, but you don't want to run them dry before you get oil on them. I'm sure most of that you already know, you're doing a really good job so far! if you need more info, just yell. [/QUOTE]
