Trying to get Axle Bearing back into live axle
This is a picture of my last effort, it just leaks as soon as it's put back in.
The problem is that the o-ring that you can see there gets sheared and ends up more of a "D" than an "O", you can see this if
you look close.
So, my question is ... Do any of you knowledgeable out there know a trick that will work?
Thanks.
Lee.

ensure there is no burr on the casing gently file down. I assume u have tried greasing the seal as well if it is dry it will drag on the dry surface ?
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I fit one recently, it didn't have a seal, it was a tight fit and i used loctite bearing fit just to make sure.
No leaks.

Mine were sealed bearings - tight fit - dont remember any sealing ring on mine - all good here .. no leaks..
Use some instant gasket - let it semi set in the groove and carefully assemble?

I chamfered the edge of the axle shaft and greased up the O-ring, I'll let you know how it got on 
Thanks, folks.
