A unitized seal is a dual action seal. The inner part stays fixed on the spindle and the outer casing rotates with the hub. This type of seal has less wear and tear and provides better leak protection.

These work exactly as expected. Being oil bath axles, which I really like, I have not seen any signs of leaking. I’m not sure if I would be able to get the drums off and reuse, so I always replace when I service the hubs/brakes. They are costly, but the value of having oil bath axles seems worth it.
The seals for my axle are well made. The 1 out of 4 seals I didn't get installed right, so there was a small leak on a 1200 mile trip. So I had to keep adding fluid. Of course this ruined the brake linings. So the brakes are basically brand new from E trailer. The brakes are self-adjusting - 12- 1/4" Left/Right *K AKEBRK-8 four ea. So I was surprised to find out after taking to Hannah that there were no replacement brake linings available. Why would you sell something you can't even get parts for anymore .
I really like these seals, they cost more, but they do an excellent job of oil control, the only disadvantage is if you remove the hub, the seal is probably not going to be reusable, my ratio is about 50/50 but careful patient disassembly helps. I highly recommend this seal for hub rotors that are oil bath, not for drums that are grease and need removal to change brakes. I put about 80k miles on my trailer per year, very happy with the performance
I just changed my hus on my 5th wheel from grease to oil bath from trailer. The kit do do so included these oil seal. As a after thought I wanted a backup set of seal just in case. I thought the price was alittle high but I didn't have time to explore the internet for a lower price so I ordered a set. I may never have to use them but I have peace of mind that they are onboard.
The cheap single lip oem seals all leaked grease onto the brake shoes, what a mess! These oil bath seals are well worth the money and do not leak.
Exactly what was needed. Installed fine. Outstanding customer service by etrailer.com. I was in a rush, needed the part overnight and my rep watched the order, told me when it shipped and followed it through until it was in my hands. Can't ask for anything more!!
Customer service ++
Purchased these for spares after using the last spares redoing my bearings. I try to ALWAYS have a spare set on hand. Not exactly the same as the previous ones but will certainly do the job.
This seal is of better quality then any other seals I have had in the past, these should last a lifetime. This place has good prices on some hard to find parts, can get almost anything you need, reasonable shipping with lots of options.
Great service very helpful and knowledg eable
These seals were a perfect match to my old ones and arrived quickly.
Installation was without issue and they are working like a champ!
Great to do business with. Always get what I need when I need it. Ricky at Etrailer is on top of my favorites list.
This oil seal is a one time use. If you remove it the internal spring pops out.

The oil seal is doing its job. There are no leaks and oil level is stable
