the hubs with the spacer are called LMS hubs. they are a torque up and forget hub, but removing the spacer and just running them without it is not really the way to go either. yes ive done it and yes it works, but the design of the LMS hubs is different than the older manual end play hubs. That is a crush sleeve as well as a spacer for dissimilar metals. i have personally seen a hub crack and fall apart and the lack of the sleeve was blamed. now how many people just throw em out - many. how many actually break - very few. But after seeing that one come apart - i always put the sleeve back in. The OEM recommends replacing the sleeve every time but that is crap - ive done thousands of hubs and measured end play thousands of times on old spacers/sleeves and never seen one loose after the proper torquing procedure.

The stemco seals are supposed to be installed DRY. When they are lubed they attract dust and dirt and it sticks to them and wears out the wear ring and seal at an accelerated rate. EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE PRE LUBED ive tried almost every differnt kinda wheel seal, and the only ones i use anymore are the Stemco grit guards - they seem to last the longest when done properly.

my opinion - take it for what its worth
