Don't seal the tops of the seals or boots. The shaft needs to be able to slide without pulling the seal up off the the retaining lip on the can.. B146A is the actual seal and B146AK is the dust boot.
Make sure the shafts are clean and very smooth. A touch of grease to help it seal and at the same time, slide without pulling the seal up, won't hurt.
That's what happens...the shaft pulls the seal up and out of the lip it fits into on the can. I glue mine to that lip with trim adhesive or similar..The dust boot goes over all of that.
Again, the shaft needs to slide up and down without pulling the seal or boot up with it.
