I've talked to MSC, and several people at THK directly, and their line is that "it would void the warranty" (there is no warranty on these NOS units). I can send them in and they'll replace them, but that sounds necessary.
This is not for a super precision application, I just want them to last as long as possible, and installing the seals doesn't look like rocket surgery. Now I'm reaching out to the folks who make THK knockoffs to try to order their corresponding seal sets, we'll see what happens.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
