Alpha I Gen II - Gimble Bearing Seal

[ormjgrouch]

hey guys,

Finally starting to work on my 180 Rinker, purchaseds a Bellows kit OEM, noticed my gimbal bearing is a non greasable bearing, I'm ok with that but I just realized the kit doesn't come with a gimbal bearing seal?

is that because I don't' need it anymore since my gimbal bearing is nongreasable?

many thanks in advance

It's more of a grease shield than seal.
It's to stop excess grease from the gimbal bearing being flung around.
There won't be any excess grease because of the nongreasable bearing.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks Marc c.

So don't need one, good since I remove the old one when I removed the old bearing with the slide hammer, man! mine was on there good.

Nope you no longer need that seal with the new non greaseabal bearings.
