Rear bearing seal - spring popped out
The internal springs popped out and dropped down onto the bearing while I was installing them recently. Don't know why and hope it doesn't happen to others but here is a simple and cheap preventive step.

Re: Rear bearing seal - spring popped out
Bill's suggestion is excellent, however in my case I discovered the spring fell out after installation, I used the wire trick to help snake the spring back in with the seal in place.
