Spindle Bearing & Seals?

[CobraJetKid]

Started my JBG disc brake conversion today and ran into my first roadblock. I've got the new spindles, spindle bearngs, seals, and spacers and can't figure out exactly where or how they all go together. Does the small seal go in before the spindle bearing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The bearing goes in first then the small v seal with the flat side to the bearing. The spacer goes against the axle flange with the beveled side against the axle flange. The big seal goes on with the thick part on the axle, the thinner lip faces the spindle.

Be sure to grease all of the seal surfaces after you install them, failure to do so often results in seal failure very fast. You can even put a thin coat of RTV for the big seal (only on its mating surface) that goes on the axle to help hold it in place.

Here 's a video showing the order, I know it's on a chevy, but its the same as your bronco, just make sure to drive the bearing in till it seat so the seal has a recess.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mrr6xzCChc here's a better write up with pic's and its for ford bronco's ;D http://www.broncoparts4u.com/Dana-disc-conv.html

Well I think this answers my question. The V seal is the one I really couldn't figure out. Wasn't sure if it went in before or after the bearing. Thanks a ton. Hopefully get the passenger side of this done after work tomorrow. Think it might be about time to start a build thread.
