I discovered that the bolt patten on my Max IV with the older style smaller bearings has the same bolt pattern as the Argos. I have always liked the argo bearing flanges (Jeff Swift informed me it's actually an ATTEX design) and now I'm converting my flanges to the Argo ones with the dual seals and dual grease fittings. The question I have is there a recommended torque for the four flange bolt? Also is it recommended to use a little RTV on the bolts to prevent water passing through, or is the two cork gaskets enough?

How much grease do you use when filling the cavities for the first time? Will the axle seal be ruined if you put too much in and grease comes out of the flange?









This system will work only if you don't need the eccentric cam bearing on the outer bearing.

Thanks in advance for the info
