Brockport Bill 1,090 #1 Posted November 20 When taking apart spindles I often find ( but not always) a rubber "O" ring ( # 971015 ) around the shaft on top of the bearing below the pulley -- how necessary is that? I assume its a seal for water or particles getting down into between shaft and bearing? Do most of you install a new "O" ring when doing rebuild or maintenance on spindles? It appears the older spindles have another design that includes the bushing/spacer ( #106070 ) plus a seal ( # 106075 ) thanks - Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
