Default another wheel bearing ?

Is there a seal that slides onto the spindle yoke/axle, before you slide it through the knuckle and through the bearing hub assembly. When I took the axle out there was not a bearing seal, only the washer with the lip on it. In the fsm it mentions a bearing seal but I cant tell if the seal is part of the hub. It seems like there should be a rubber gasket or seal where the hub butts up against the back of the spindle yoke. Hopefully this makes sense to one of you guys. I could not find it at any parts stores or dealerships. Any help would be appreciated. I am so close to being done with this. Thanks

IIRC, the only separate component is the teflon-impregnated washer.

does this washer come as part of the new hub assembly? Or is it a separate part that you slide on?

I'm not the OP, but I have another part number question related to replacing the rear bearings:

What is the part number for the castleated cover that goes over the Axle nut?

TIA!

I can't help you with this one, but I'm sure a call to a Chevy dealer can get you the number.
