Bearing oil seals with sealed bearings

[Royboy]

The 77D resto project gets new wheel bearings today. Question....if we are using sealed bearings rather than the OEM caged type are the oil seals normally installed outside of the bearings needed? MMM at 650 Central thought not and while I would never doubt him, I'd like a second opinion before doing it twice.

Thanks, roy

If you have them put them in, it will stop moisture & crap getting into your hub & speedo drive unit.

I think the stock bearings were sealed. They used the seals to prevent water and road grime from getting inside the hub.
