Just assembled my wheels to gear and thought I went by Vans instructions pretty well. Later I looked at the instructions that came with the Cleveland wheels and they indicated that if you were using the felt wheel seals, which we do,… that you should soak the felt in 10 w motor oil before assembly. Re-read Vans instructions a couple of times and they never mention it.
I was wondering if most folks did or did not soak the felt? Looks like it will become grease soaked anyway.
Thanks Bill S

Well, grease soaked! I doubt it but grease coated SURE. You definitely want
then coated or soaked somehow.
If you put them together without any oil or grease; I would just squirt some
oil on them. It will work its way in.

You should smear a thin layer of grease on the wheel seal holders and then I was taught to paint oil onto the felt disk itself using a small brush, bolt it all up and you should get a good seal

Best regards
