Chrysler inner wheel bearing grease seal

[Bill Crowell]

It seems that no matter which seal driver I choose, it is going to be trying to drive the seal in by contacting the seal rather than the steel ring. Can this possibly be the correct way to install it? Won't I wreck the seal by trying to install it this way?

You just haven't found the right driver. I use a large 4-wheel drive socket that fits perfect. Or use a piece of large pipe. Driver sets often don't work.

I assume you are using universal driver such as the HF ones. You need a tubular driver AKA a piece of tubing that only contacts the outer rim. You can make one, large pipe or tube. Be imaginative. If you don't have access to a lathe, see if a pipe size is close, then slot it so you can expand or contract it in diameter to "loosely" fit inside the axle tube

Thanks a lot, Murray and Del! I found a piece of exhaust pipe that fit perfectly.
