Front wheel on a Super 88

jiniowa · Dec 3, 2013

Hi. I had a bad inner wheel seal on the front wheel of my Super 88. I have the cast iron wheels. I replaced the seal, however now the wheel will not seat back into its original position. It looks to me like the new seal is too thick and prevents the wheel from being pushed all the way on to the spindle. This also prevents the large inner bearing from seating into its race. I tried putting it all together and tightening the nut on the spindle to try and force into place, but that just bound the smaller outside bearing without seating the large inner bearing.

I ordered a new seal from a different parts company to make sure the first one didn't send teh wrong seal by mistake, but I tried last night to reassemble and had the same issue. Has anybody encountered a problem like this? And if so, have any ideas as to how I might remedy?

Thank you!

Pretty sure external_link.com has all of these parts and are known to fit. I did a couple sets of bearings and they were always right. Talk to the guys that deal in strictly Oliver parts, call them.

Hey you still looking for a set of 77 hubs> We also have a set of light weight hubs for the front. J.

Actually, Korves is one of the dealers I received parts from, the other was API Products. They both seemed sure their seal would work, but both seals are identical and both do not fit.

My next try is with the local bearing company.

Thanks for the reply.
