Info needed: F30 grease seals ?

Are you talking about the outer wheel seal? That is to say,the one that is sandwiched between the two adjusting nuts? Yes, that one you may get away without for a spell, but personally I prefer them installed.

Or are you talking about the inner wheel seal as illustrated in the second post? That would be very unsafe to be running without that installed. When the grease warms up, it can throw into the brakes causing as much problem the oil would. Overpacking the hub is not ideal either as it retains heat. Just enough grease to lubricate the bearings and coat all the surfaces is how I run.
