01 single axle EZ loader on my tr-20. I just had a rear bearing blow out, and took my hub with it...so I replaced the whole side with everything new. My problem I am having is the ID is 1.68". It seems to be a little too big. When I grease that side, its pushing out from the seal...and I did not blow out the seal with over greasing to cause this.
Its a 3500lb axle.
When I replaced the hub assembly, there was a metal collar on the axle, where the seal goes on. I damaged this collar and had to cut it off. I didnt know what it was at the time and the new hub assembly didnt come with a new one. Now at this moment, I have a feeling that collar was to tighten up the seal fitment on the axle. ANy ideas?
