to keep the oil in.
This makes sense to me.

But I don't see how the LN bearing achieves this.

I look at pictures on line and it does not show how it does this.

Does it have a groove cut on the inside on the flange (for an "O" ring) where it slides
over the center stem? (in reverse of the OEM system)

I just like to know how things work before I drop a bunch of cash.

Thanks

The LN bearing uses an o=ring on the center bolt, but no undercut as that was a weakness in the factory bolt that led to many failures:



And the design does work, we have not had one leak yet.
