Grease seals

[mercurymang]

I'm about to take a trip and decided to crack open the hubs on my old shoreline trailer for inspection. The bearings appear to be ok but the seals are shot. I didn't think about it being hard to find replacements but I'm running into a little trouble. I measured the inner and outer diameters and I show it to be 2" OD and 1" shaft so a 1" ID.
Does anybody have a suggestion on where I might me able to locate one of these?

Re: Grease seals

Did you look on the seal for the part number? It is almost always there

Re: Grease seals

y'know, i got to thinking about it. The shaft is 1" but I remember seeing a lip. Is it possible that the bearing sits on that lip and the seal sits outside of it and is actually a 1 1/4"?

Re: Grease seals

Typically there is a step that both the seal rides on and bearing sits on.

Thanks. I'll have another look at it when I get home.

Make sure whatever seals you get that there are snug on the axle if not its the wrong size. Just bring in the old seal when you go to get new ones. Maybe even a auto parts store but i'm not sure about if a seal from them would be the right one. i'm sure other on here would now more about that.
