I'm convinced the purpose of two seals is simply to back each other up in case one fails. I had lost the cardboard spacer that separates the two seals, so after installing the first one I packed the void within it (it's a lip seal) with grease and then just pushed the second one directly beside the first with no spacer. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534254315208_2680" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534254315208_2680" dir="ltr">The seals are numbered 21 in the attached diagram.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534254315208_2680" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534254315208_2680" dir="ltr">Jon</div></div></body></html>
