Why would the sand filter be leaking where the lid attaches to the tank if you have a new and lubed o ring?

i believe you trouble is ..........sand...you have to get every little piece of sand off the o-ring and the groove...good luck Also make sure you are using approved Lube. Vaseline can cause a ring to loose its form and cause leaks. There is also the possibility that the lid is warped from age.

On a 1998 blazer wheel bearing assembly where exactly does the large o-ring go?

2000 BLAZER FRONT WHEEL HUB INSTALLATION, WHERE DOES THE LARGE O-RING GO? You can see the outer race of the wheel bearing is stepped. The large o-ring goes over the first step and buts up against the second. The o-ring may be slightly larger than the smaller diameter area on the outer race, fit a little loose, and be a little larger on outside diameter than the larger part of the bearing. The hub needs to be put in evenly. Tighten each bolt a flat at a time if you need to. The o-ring should lubed a little (I used Vaseline). As you tighten the bolts continue to check the o-ring to make sure one part isn't popping out the front or back. The o-ring should rest against the step in the knuckle which corresponds to the bearing. This is not a gasket for the dust shield.
