Replaced with Timken seal on Toyota and didn’t expect to see metal covering on it. Visually looked the same dimensions compared to original seal. Covered it light grease and would not go in easily even with large socket around seal, would just go crooked. Eventually got it in straight but ended up lightly denting while tapping in.
Depends on cost and availability to me, if it was under 25 and in stock locally I’d possibly get another and call it a practice run, more than that or order in it’ll be fine, better than the old one anyway
