Make sure your outer spacer (68-70 buses only) has the chamfer facing inwards. I did mine backwards, and by the time I put the hubcap on I realized my mistake. You'll have to remove and reinstall a new seal to fix it, so double check before dealing. And make sure your circlips are fully seated!

Bearings, spacers and seals are in, everything fit slicker than snake-snot. Rotates smooth.
Still have to re-install the drive axle and put new brake shoes in, but those are things I have done a hundred times. Thanks again, asiab3, for the link.
Sharp edge of the spacer is under the seal, sharp edges of the circlips are facing the thrust surface (out). Life is good. |

Enjoy the ride, whenever that may be
kreemoweet posted the link before I did, but it was definitely instrumental in helping me understand the early bay setup. The Bentley talks mostly about the late setup with separate hub and spacer differences, plus they want you to use a press. This way you can beat book time AND do your VW Yoga at the same time.
