Hey guys im frustrated and thought i would reach out here and see what input i can get.

I just picked up an aftermarket 21" WG wheel and im trying to get the bearings and seals set right. The wheel came with some rubber seals but they seem to pop out pretty easy when im putting the axle in. I got a set of seals from the dealer that were metal and they seem to fit nice and snug but like a jackass i forgot to shim it after setting the seals.

When i look up the part number on my invoice #47519-83A it shows a rubber seal even though i got metal ones.

Now when i look up #47519-73 i get the seals the deal gave me. THe problem im having is the metal seals show for 73-83 not 99 like i have. I installed the rubber one and my wheel spacer slipped into the rubber seal. Which appears wrong cause that causes the wheel spacer to turn also which looks like a problem.

Also i should mention that this is a custom front end and i have a wheel spacer kit to get the right size that i need. Does anyone know the stock WG wheel spacer O.D.?

 

No offense, but you better take that to a shop that understands how to correctly set up the tapered bearings and set the end play. With that said if you want to ship the wheel to me I will do it for no charge as long as you cover any parts and return shipping. I am in Florida though.

 

thats probably what ill end up doing since my only experience has been with the sealed type bearing. Do you know what the stock O.D. of the spacer that goes between the fork and the hub is?
