Wheel bearing "gasket"?
Hello guys. I have a ? about this paper gasket that is behind the disc brake sheild on a 1971/69 C-20. (the truck has stock disc. but the body is a 69).
Is this "gasket'" needed? Should i replace it? |

Re: Wheel bearing "gasket"?
as long as the wheel seal is in the hub/rotor yer good, dont know why there is a gasket there. is it between the shield and the spindle?

Re: Wheel bearing "gasket"?
I have never replaced them. Its not a seal as much as a dust blocker. They tend to look about like what you have when the seal fails. If you have a new one I would pop it in and if not don't let it stop you.

Re: Wheel bearing "gasket"?
It just funny that i have torn down 3/4 others the same yr or so and have never seen any thing behind the sheild. I think it is a dust blocker and i may just have to make one.
Thanks for the input. NIck |
