The last time I pressed the inner ring in about 4.5mm and that put the seal in the center of the ring. From what I remember, the sweet spot seemed to be 4.5-5mm for people.
I bought a Koyo bearing and ring set from napa which is what I used last time. I'll keep the bearing I pull out because I might be able to flush it and repack it for next time. I also bought Toyota snap rings, dust seal and inner seal. I'll seal it up good with the FIPG sealant. When I'm confident it's no longer leaking I'll replace the brakes. I bought Napa shoes and wheel cylinders but I don't want to do all of that until I have the gear oil leak fixed.
