Richard Farrant Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have a leaking front hub seal I have a new seal and washer someone told me you cut the seal and put it on saving having to strip the hub is this true or am I looking at a full wheel off hub strip down cheers paulie pops Are you talking hub seal or tracta seal? The seal on the spherical housing, inboard of the steering swivel is the tracta seal. A new seal can be clean cut diagonally and fitted with cut at top, a recognised practise. The hub seal is in the hub to stop oil leaking in the brakes, these can only be fitted one way, a strip down, no short cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
