Seems like a discussion comes up every so often about these bearings and seals so to help discussions posting these photos.
First photo shows stack of components on top of bearing. These are all pressed on, except clip ring.
On top is the ring that provides seal surface for inner axle seal.
Second is ABS tooth wheel.
Then clip ring, and big spacer, washer then bearing. Flange of bearing hub is before cleaning and applying anti-seize.
Middle photo shows end of axle tube, note o-ring on outside of rim and gold colored inner axle seal. This seal keeps gear oil from washing grease out of bearing. I put anti-seize on flange surfaces to cut down on rust.
The last photo shows all the components pressed off axle. The bearing splits apart so it could be regreased, but no spec on with what, comes pregreased from factory. FSM says to grind seal ring and ABS wheel off, but with right fixtures they can all be pressed off.
