Green bearings and inner axle seals

[Oldgearhead]

Do you need the inner axle seal if you are running green bearings

Absolutely, if not the gear oil will wash out the grease of the sealed green bearing.

You actually don’t need them. The green bearing is completely sealed.

I have read once from a user where the inner seal interfered with the fit of the axle when using a green bearing but can’t verify the authenticity of the complaint. (Can’t remember his exact application either)

If the seals don’t interfere with anything it won’t hurt to leave them in.

Not picking on you but that’s a funny statement. Though I am not a fan of using green bearings, if they are sealed, how does the gear oil get inside to wash out the bearings?
