I posted a paper on Jim Werner's site with my experiences with rear wheel
bearings and seals.
Contained are instructions on making seal drivers out of pvc pipe &
fittings. Driving the seals with pvc pipe is easy. Observed front & rear
bearing specs are included.
I bought the special octagon wrench from Hemphills.
See:

Today's updates--just bought a NOS rear wheel bearing--it's a FAG 4209B.TVH
The O-ring I observed to be 3-3/4" OD x 5/32" in section. I think a 1/8"
section might work as well but haven't tried it yet.
