Here's the story,
A few hours ago I took my spindle with my BRAND NEW bearing I bought an hour before that. While they were installing it the first:
1. Pulled the old one out ok in one piece.
2. Pressed the new one in.
3. Pressed the hub back in halfway and realized
4. IT WAS PRESSED IN BACKWARDS
Then they went and:
1. Pressed out the hub with half he wheel bearing inner race
2. Pressed out the other half, and pried out the inner race and slapped it back together
3. Pressed it in correctly after.
The bearings didn't fly everywhere when they broke it and it's in one piece in the spindle currently. While they were un-funking themselves I asked if I would need a new bearing. They said no.
Long story short, I got home and the seal between the inner and outer races is not laying flat on the bearing. it instead looks like: |/| i.e. not straight.
Is this safe? I'm planning to go back and rip them a new one and get them to pay for the replacement bearing. Do I need to replace the hub? Spindle since it was pressed in backwards?
Anything would help here folks.
