Rear wheel seal installation

Post by tercle »

The Service Manual says to apply MP grease to a new rear wheel seal before installing.
Is that right?
Lots of grease or a little?

The first one went in crooked, so I am trying another seal...

It also helps sometimes to run a file over the metal edge of the seal where it goes in to bevel it slightly.
