Short shaft Alpha One question

Re: Short shaft Alpha One question

Not really. I had a little doubt at the start of the thread, but after some (I hope) civil debate and careful consideration on my part, I saved myself $80 and saw the superstitious side of boat repair in the process.

I am glad a couple of people saw my logic, though. I was beginning to doubt my communication skills.

I don't know what your time is worth... but it looks like you spent a lot more than $80 worth of time "winning" the arguement / justifying your decision...

I've done bunches of these and i'm still not sure how you think you can "move" the seal. If you put everything back on that shaft together in the correct order, there is no place for the seal to move. It just sits there.
Your either...
A. not going to get your rolling torque correct when you reset the bearings.
or
B. going to crush the seal while your trying to set your rolling torque

Do us a favor because i'm interested. Let us know how long it lasts before it starts leaking again.

Oh brother. Maybe next time you do one you'll have an epiphany.

Nate,
If you read my first answer, I was pretty much telling you what you already seemed to know.

No comment about the criticism you got.
