getting all my parts together to start my 2nd build and had a generic question. I see where some are using a flange bearing on top and was curious if you are putting a seal behind that bearing housing or just letting the grease go all the way up to the back of the bearing housing. Theres a grease fitting on the bearing itself so no need to let the grease from housing service the bearing, and not having a seal on the top end of the shaft would also create a leak point for the grease. just curious. |

I just use some of the red gasket sealant on mine and haven't had any problems. My top flange bearing is shielded and sealed. |

I think i'd go with a couple of seals behind the flange bearings just to make sure you keep the grease in and the water out. |

Kinda what I was thinking. I posted sketches of what I am going to do with the bushings, bearings, and seals in the thread titled threading the OD of dom tube. |

What kind of grease seals do y'all use? Rotary shaft seals or what? |

I just used double lip spring loader oil seals. Search honda gx 390 build. I put lots of pictures in that thread and you can see the seals there. |
