Replacing the front wheel bearings. '48 C wide front. Question about the felt seals-do they need to be lubricated somehow, or install dry?

On my WDs, I've always soaked them in gear-lube.

wd45 service manual says to lubricate felt seal with light oil.I would say the same applies to the Cs.A light dampening of oil not saturated to make a drippy mess is what I would do.

Job complete I soaked the felt in oil.
Getting the old inner cone off was tough. But most
of the time was spent in cleaning out the old hard grease.
