'I was putting my brakes and wheels on today and am in a quandary on how to install the felt seals. When I took them off the sequence was like this.Inner wheel bearingFelt seal Two metal seal retainer ringsRetainer clipWhat I am wondering about is it doesn’t seem like the felt seal should go next to the bearing. Should it go between the two seal retainer rings? Or do the two rings go together so they can spin easily? The IPB is not real clear on this.'
