'29 AA Front wheel grease seal

Post by rugb »

This may have been bought up before, but my question is, is there a seal/slinger/retainer used to hold the grease in on the front inside bearing? Reassembling mine today, I seem to not have that part (been apart too long) Ordered them for an A axle but too small. And does someone sell what I need? Thanks

I'm restoring a 29 AA, I removed the front hub and looked at it. There is no seal or slinger, it has a baffle, the hub slides over the baffle about 1/4", the hub measures about 2.625 inside and the baffle measures about 2.620 OD, thats only .005" clearance, thats your seal against dirt getting in.
