Did I install the seal too far?
Hey everyone,
Just put new bearings and seals in. Installed the bearing as far as the shoulder inside the axle tube - no worries there.
But I think I installed the seal a little too far as per the picture. I discovered after installing that it should be flush with the tube and not recessed - I installed the seal as far as they would go. Am I going to have to remove the seal and install a new one?

Oh cool, thanks for that. Was just worried for a bit that I had to do it again.
