Howdy,
I just replaced the wheel bearings on the rear wheel of my bike (99EC300). A couple comments then the questions. It shows quality that there are three wheel bearings and not only two. However, is there suppost to be a spacer between any of the bearings. Why do I ask this? Because the wheel seems to be dragging on something as I spin it by hand with the new bearings in. (its not the chain, brake or mud flap) Could the seals be the source of friction? and is this normal?
thanks for any assistance.
PS: the seal on the single bearing side is flush with the hub, on the double bearing side the seal is set in by about a 3/16 IS this normal or did I screw-up? :think
regards
