As a general rule, I stay away from anything from a chain parts store. It's a 
good bet that they will leak.

Subject: [tcb] front wheel seals


I decided to replace the front seals and pack new bearings in preparation for 
my trip to the classic.  I made the mistake of getting some seals from Napa 
since Napa is easily accessible from my house. I pulled the front wheels and 
hubs and removed the seals and bearings.  Then I realized the new seals were 
different from the existing seals.
 
Luckily I took a long lunch today and made it over to Austin Vee Dub and 
purchased the correct seals, which I will install tonight.  The seals from napa 
will fit on to my hubs but not inside the hub like the originals.  My question 
is has anyone else had this experience, and will those seals from Napa leak?
