To seal, or not to seal.....THAT is the question.
Do the two flange halves get sealed in between to keep grease from puking out while greasing? or put them together naked?
I do put sealant between the flange and the tub.
Just thought about this while cleaning bearings and axles.
Thoughts? Questions? Answers?
I smeared grease on both halves and tightened them down even on my max, it only pushed out around the bearing seal if I pumped it too much. The guy that had it now says it does great in the water, which surprised me since it had duro stryker knock off tires.

also , if your bearing has a little hole in the race part , i believe that always should line up with the zert fitting to get some grease in the bearing . j.b.
I smear rtv gasket sealer between the flange halves to seal out water. Rope caulk between tub and flange set. Squirt marine grease the next day after it all dries.
