[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 25824, member: 82"] You need to remove that end float. Remove the material from the washer, only the internal part though, leave the outer edge where it touches the sprocket. You don't want it moving or it will damage the bearings and seal, you will be back to square one. For my bearings i made an adapter for a hydraulic pull ram, it pulls the bearing cups into place with ease. You can use threaded bar too. I also made a seal installation tool that you sit on the axle and put the hub bolt through and tighten it up. It pulls the seal into place easily too, no bashing with a hammer, just twist till its seated, simple! The hubs sometimes are very tight and require heat, i haven't needed to do that yet, 2 BIG bottle jacks and a hammer did it for me. [/QUOTE]
