What's the Nilos Ring....

[SpidyJ]

.........that Grumpy is talking about?  0.010" thick.  I want to buy the spacer but don't even know what the Nilos ring is or what it's for?
Thanks.

A replacement for an oil seal.  A poor one at that!

A very thin piece of stamped metal....may be used on the outside of the sealed bearing for added protection from the elements (and washing) when doing the left rear two-row bearing upgrade.

The spacer measured .885" thick before machining and .615" after. The machinist recommended
removing another .010" to be on the safe side. (Editors Note: I don't like the idea of removing an
additional .010". If the bearing is .260" wider, remove exactly .260" from the spacer. )

Removing that .010 extra from the spacer may be a good idea IF you will add the nilos ring on the outside of the sealed bearing.

Sabe?

Your going to need the ZAV model for our sealed bearings.

You will need to order a 5204 ZAV N-ring


Jess you have the wrong N-ring pictured.

Thanks TP, it was just supposed to be a link to a nilos ring site for descriptive purposes, not THE one we need.

But yeah, thanks for the specificity (I really didn't know which one was right).
