I know there are many threads out there on this subject, however, I need some more detailed help on the installation. Here is what I've tried so far.
I of course tried to just grease the spindle and push the new seal on by hand, now everyone say "that doesn't work". Of course I didn't think it would work but hey I gotta try everything.
Then I tried getting the 3" pvc coupler and hammering it onto the spindle. I read in another thread that someone did this and it worked well. Well after an hour of hammering and several pieces of pvc trying to kill me no go again.
I then tried to thread the nut onto the spindle and press the seal on, again no no.
I tried using the steel dowl to tap it in and well it leaves an impression on the seal so i stopped that right away.
Can someone please help me figure out what I need to do or what am I doing wrong? Included are pics of how far I've been able to get it so far.
Thank you
