It is probably a misunderstanding of term dust seal. I'm assuming you are trying to put your new brake drum hub over your drum brake assemblies. If you don't have the ability to simply install them over the shoes, you will need to use the adjuster screw on the assemblies to allow the shoes to come closer together for that installation and then adjust them for a slight drag on the drum once installed. If you have the correct brake and hub assemblies, this fit should be easy. I've attached a video to assist.

If you are having further issues let me know what parts you have and also send a picture of the issue. I'm happy to assist.
