I don't remember seeing one when I pulled the rotors from the SE, but I'm ready to install new rotors back on the SE spindles with all new inner and outer wheel bearings and races. Looking at my parts, I figured there has to be some kind of seal to retain the grease inside of the bearings/spindle assembly that would reside between the inner wheel bearing and the dust shield. Is there? I had sandblasted and powder coated my dust shields and I don't remember any seal in the groove there. Is there a seal here or am I just crazy? Where can I get one if so-would the local parts warehouse (Advance, Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Napa, etc) stock or be able to order it? Thanks for your help guys...

 

You are talking about the seal that goes on the inside of the rotors, to hold in the inner wheel bearing grease right? That's typically called a wheel seal. Try advance auto parts or autozone. Should be $4-5 a piece.

 

Cool-thanks. I knew there was one, but I just didn't remember seeing them when the rotors were pulled. I've changed wheel bearings/rotors/etc on many other vehicles also, and it seems like almost all of them used some kind of seal that resembled a front or rear main to fit the inside of the rotors-right between the inner bearing and dust shield...

Again, thanks for the help. I sincerely appreciate it...

 

No problem. It's actually funny that you should ask this, because I was just working on switching the races and bearings over to my new rotors from the old ones. Otherwise I probably would've forgotten. Good luck, I'm right there with ya!
