Please see video posted below. My bearings seem way too loose in the flange. I realize it is not filled with grease and not tightened down yet. Is this normal, or do I have a mis-match?
That's normal. When you tighten the flanges they will secure the bearing. Go to the parts store and get 6 o rings - that will fit the outer circumference of the bearing. It will help prevent water intrusion
https://youtu.be/sjgzk3m-X_sI actually made gaskets for the inner and outer bearings. When placed inside the flanges, it actually made the bearing more loose than shown in the video. So much looser that I decided to not use them. Is this an error, or do the flanges need this gasket period? Sure is hard for me to use the gasket knowing it makes the bearings more loose inside.
