    Inner Hub Seal on rear axle

I have asked this question before and did not get much response. What is a good way to get the new hub seal started on the spindle? i took the front ones to a shop...

    While working on an injection line leak yesterday I noticed a noise around the compressor. It is metallic and wonder if it could be the compressor failing. It does make air. https://youtu.be/IGfYWmXZD1Y Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Seal installation on Spindle

    I have taken on the project of putting new boots and seals on the front axle. Using the TM and Banshee's tutorial has made easy work of it.

    Injector installation (nozzle direction)

    I took great care removing my injectors and marking what hole they came out of. Took them to the shop and they cleaned and tested them. Got them back and no more tape on them for what hole and the shop said it does not matter. My thing is doesn't it matter what direction the fuel is shot out of...

    Primary Fuel Filter Canister Spring

    Changed my primary filter today and when i put the new filter in, i could not depress the spring at all. Is it supposed to depress a little?
