Needle Bearing removal

[Super Sportster]

there was one that had seal on both ends SCE 1210PP on Amazon I wasn't sure if you want it
that sealed up any thoughts on that? thanks for the information seal spring up got it. I have a NOS shaft coming from California my shaft has threads on gear end so unable to flip it around. Regards, Paul

I don't think you would want a sealed bearing, the gear lube would never get to it. I haven't tried to flip the collar on a threaded pinion but it looks like the shaft is tapered at the threads and if you remove the pinion gear it could be done? I too was going to put the seal in spring down and the double seal lower one down and upper one up, but the experts said no they go spring up. I've not encountered any water in the lower unit doing it this way.
