H-30. CR SCOTSEAL (Cont.)

How To Remove a Scotseal:

The first step is removing the

Scotseal from the hub. You do

this by inserting a pry bar

(crow’s foot) between the seal

and the bearing cone. The bar

should rest on the inner race

to

avoid

damaging

the

bearing.

Do not clean the seal. In this

case, dirt can be helpful in

providing valuable clues.

NOTE

The

Scotseal

maintains

a

metal

to

metal

contact

between the seal O.D. and the

hub bore surface as well as a

metal

contact

between

the

packing I.D. and the spindle.
