So iI pulled the hub back off, installed the new 30 dollar seal and It doesn't work. I can see where the hub is rubbing on the studs on the back plate. IDK what to do at this point. the new seal made me have to beat the hub on to the spindle finally.

Thanks for all the help guys, I got her sorted.
If any of you tackle this job I would highly recommend the Napa seal. SKF has a patent on it (I think) and it was very high quality. Since it turns on the inside it wont rub on the Spindle and cause wear. Worth the 27 bucks A side a paid for them.
