Does Trailer Hub Seal Prevent Outer Bearing from Moving
Question:
If there is a space between in back of the inner bearing and the seal, cant the bearing move back and forth in that space?

Expert Reply:
The grease seal is not designed to hold the bearing in. If there was pressure on the seal from a bearing somehow the seal wouldn't hold it in. The grease seal is designed to hold the grease in and prevent contaminants from getting in.
