Information
- The wheel bearing has a magnetised multipole seal -1- , which acts as a pulse sender for the speed sensor.
- The multiple-pole seal -1- must always face upwards when the wheel bearing is set down (this does not apply when pressing the wheel hub into the wheel bearing). Do not damage the multipole seal and do not come into contact with magnetic objects (e.g. magnetised screwdriver, magnet).
- Press wheel hub into the wheel bearing.
