Seal me.

[Old Miner]

Hi again everyone.

 

Need some help.

Im replacing my rear tyre on my 2nd Gen. 1999 RSV. Made a note of everything except the way that the hub dust seal #8 on enclosed diag fits.

 

Is it the flat side to wheel and indented or slotted face to outside edge.

 

or.

 

Flat side to out side edge and indented or slotted face to the wheel??????

 

(Cant think of a better word to discribe the two seal faces).

 

The flat side has a rim around the middle but is for all intense and purposes flat.

 

Thanks.

I've never taken this seal off, so I don't know what it looks like on the side that contacts the wheel, but the top side has a sort of hump to it, as I recall, such that the wider side contacts the wheel and the narrower side faces away and into the flange. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that.

 

I have a spare wheel that I swap in and out every other tyre change and I clean and lubricate the whole assembly before fitting, thats why the confusion arose.

I have a spare 1st gen wheel and the seal has a taper on it. Narrow side of taper is away from wheel.

 

Also there is a counter bore on the narrow side that fits away from the wheel.

 

The lip of the counter bore fits under the splines on the hub.

Many thanks.

 

That is how I imagined it would fit.
