The bearing is bigger than the seal. One way would be to install the bearing and the seal then bang the axle in the bearing. I prefer to install the seal on the axle then the bearing. Once it's in place I can make sure that the seal is seated right and not pushed in. The rotor has to be off in order to see the seal. So, I put the shield and the rotor first then install the axle. In order to connect the rotor to the axle, I have drilled a hole on the shield to install the 5 bolts one by one.</div>

Not a fun job and it is tough to remove the axle assembly. I've quickly made a tool to go behind the suspension arm to have something for my extractor to grab on; The tool rests behind the "ears" where the disk protection plate is attached to. </div>

Since I had to change to boots on the rear suspension, I've also replaced the Orings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's important to clean the grove where the Oring sits; dirt gathers at the bottom of the groove and the Oring cannot seal properly at that spot.</div>

I've polished it; it is mainly when the car is down, so it should not affect the pressure keeping while the car is at driving level. It would be a good idea to find a replacement piston in the mean time though</div>
