2000 E450 front wheel seal

I'm working on my 2000 Ford e450 Superduty that's a class C motorhome. I am repacking the front bearings and bought new wheel seals. The ones I received have no flange compared to the original ones with a large metal flange that sits on the back of the rotor.

I can only assume these are newly designed seals. The new seals look like a pain to install in the the back of the hub/rotor simply because it doesnt have flange. I found the old design seals in stock near me but I would have to take a drive to go get them.

Has anyone used the new design with success?

Wow, I have never seen such a thing, I don't see how that is to replace the other, the inner lip is much smaller.

Thanks guys. I decided to go get the exact replacement seals. I think the extra lip should help keep dirt out.

I don't blame you, not sure I'd trust that.
