I am in the middle of refitting the front hub seal on my 96 discovery. 2 questions.
1. Haveing a real hard time seperating the brake disc from the hub. It is stuck on real good. My shop manual says to tap on the disc until it come free. That is not working. Do I realy need to seperate the disc from the hub in order to refit the seal & bearing, which I have already removed. If I do need to seperqate the two, any ideas on how to do that.
2. THe new seal looks alittle differnt from the old one. The old seal has only one lip that seams to fit on to the bearing real nice. The new seal has two lips and does not fit the bearing like the old one does. Is the seal supose to fit suggly around the top of the bearing? May be Rovers north sent me the wrong seal???
Thanks

1. You don't need to seperate the brake disc.
2. LR has used several different seals. Look at your invoice from RN and see if they sent you seal RTC3511. If so, it will look different but is better as it does a better job sealing out water and dirt.

use a seal puller, it's cheap and will keep the seal intact incase you have to reuse the old one(like a trail repair) or reseat a new one. |

They updated the seal. I recently did this, and they have changed the seal to the two-lip design. It should be correct. I could be wrong. |
