<BODY style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">If the front bearing's rubber oil seal sustained slight damage upon the front bearing's removal, does it need to be replaced? I knocked out the front bearing to make sure it was in good condition. It was and I am planning on reusing it. The oil seal did have a small piece of its inner flange knocked off by the wooden dowel I was using. Thoughts anyone?</BODY></HTML>
