I did not remove any small v rubber seal. And I did not remove a larger V rubber seal. The NAPA kit has the small rubber seal and the larger rubber seal. Seems that if the needle bearing only goes in so far, that there would be a shim or washer to prevent from pressing in further that it should go. Was told by a tech from a 4x4 site that the metal/rubber seal pressed in place should eliminate the need for the small and large V rubbers. Hoping to get another opinion.
thanks.....
