ABSTRACT:
A seal retention and anti-rotation locking assembly (20) positioned within an aircraft wheel hub (10). The wheel hub (10) has a plurality of eccentric grooves (24) disposed about the periphery of an opening (12), the eccentric grooves (24) receiving therein complementary-shaped retaining ring segments (22). A grease seal (40) extends between the periphery of the opening (12) and an axle member (14), and is anchored securely by means of the retaining ring segments (22) and fasteners (28). The eccentric shape of the grooves (24) prevents deformation of the retaining ring segments (22) and release of the seal (40) while maintaining grease at bearings (16) located between the hub (10) and axle member (14).
