Cleveland Wheel grease seals
Putting together my wheels for my 8.50s and I am wondering if anyone has found a better seal that the felt seals or the "molded" seal that is called out as an alternate. It seems to me that they don't do a stellar job keeping grease in or dirt out. Thoughts?

I noticed you mentioned your 8.50's. Did you get your 8.50-6 field approval? I haven't made any headway with my local FAA office on getting them approved.
Thanks

FSDO approved my Grove axles and said they would have my approval for the 8.50s next week. Just trying to get everything I need so I can swap both at the same time.
