When working on hubs on older cars and trailers it pays to figure exactly how they work. Some can be ruined if wrong or crushed spacer, or nut overtightened etc, taper rollers and some ball arrangements more than finger tight, and cars with angular contact races can be dangerously assembled in reverse.
On the Seven the large race does all the locating. It should be clamped when assembled with appropriate gasket, otherwise it works loose and wheel wobbles. The pressed steel retainer for the felt seal or some equivalent must br retained to ensure the race is clamped.
As previously, unless going wading it sufices to pack little more then the races. Pumping the hub full as old handbooks is absurd.
