But this is the same bearing that goes into the fuel injected version of the 140, so I am trying it with the seals on.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>David,</DIV>
<DIV>I haven't replaced the bearings in my OS yet---</DIV>
<DIV>Just for confirmation, the rubber seals should be removed before installation?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
