Question, is there a seal that fits oil/grease seal that is pressed into back of spindle? On the 72 models there is a seal.
- Large washer with the V goes inwards towards the ujoint
- Smaller seal goes behind the roller bearing with the V towards the ujoint

If your spindle uses the roller bearing the little black seal has to sit behind it but people either don't drive the bearing deep enough to do this or just don't add it.

If the bearing isn't deep enough just get a socket that fits the edge of the bearing and tap it down deep enough.

You can see hear what I'm referring to:
