Repack whell bearings 135 question

1. The is an Oil Seal Seat Sleeve that encloses the oil seal. It is a pressed fit into the hub like the bearling cup. I didn't know this element was in there until I had drove both out. My question: How far into the hub does it go? All the way up against the bearing cup or just level with the outer edge of the hub? If the latter, then there is about a 1/8 in. between the bottom of the sleeve and the bearing cup.

2. Only one side of this tractor had a locking washer just below the adjusting nut with a tab inserted into the spindle thread area. Can I use any old washer or does it need to have a tab?

Thanks for the help... boy, I bet someone who knows what they're doing can get a lot less grease on themselves and everything else.

Messy and Confused

You prefer to have the locking washer with the tang in the keyway. That way when and if the bearing turns on the spindle, it won't try to loosen or tighten the spindle nut. That washer is often hardened and a special diameter as well.
