Thanks GeezWhiz, From the looks of these hubs, I don't think they have been apart either. It's good to know that someone else is seeing the same thing. After reading about the bearings over at Duane Ausherman's site, I'm thinking it's probably spaced like this for preload purposes. It just looked weird to me to see the tophat with a gap like that between it and the seal. I hope to do the "shake the wheel" test as described on Duane Ausherman's site within the next couple of days. Thanks again.
