WHILE THIS KIT MAY BE GREAT FOR THE CORRECT AXLE SPINDLE CONFIGURATION IT WAS OF LIMITED USE FOR ME. THE ONLY USABLE ITEMS FOR MY CONFIGURATION WERE THE GREASE SEALS. THE GREASE SEALS WORKED FINE.
THE DOWN SIDE. THIS ENDED UP BEING A RATHER EXPENSIVE OPTION FOR TWO GREASE SEALS. THE PLUS SIDE. THIS WAS THE ONLY OPTION I COULD FIND THAT PROVIDED THE 1.375 ID / 1.980 OD GREASE SEALS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A POORLY SUPPORTED SPINDLE CONFIGURATION. MY RATING IS BASED ON THE LIMTED USE FOR MY PARTICULAR AXLE, NOT THE QUALITY OR ETRAILER'S PRICE OF THE PRODUCT. AS A SIDE NOTE, AT A RETAIL PRICE OF $xx.xx THIS PRODUCT WOULD BE A TOTAL RIPOFF. AT $xx.xx IT IS NOT GREAT BUT BEARABLE.
IF I EVER NEED TO REPLACE THE AXLE I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE THE NEW ONE IS WELL SUPPORTED.
ETRAILER, ANY CHANCE YOU CAN ALSO CARRY JUST THE 1.375 ID / 1.980 OD GREASE SEALS?1413974

Parts came in ahead of scheduled time. Some parts had separated during shipping but the the great people at etrailer specially Tammy D were able to identify the pieces and everything went together great 391243

This was the only place where I could find this item. Perfect fit and easy installation. Hopefully this will fix the problem I’ve been having with the spindle. Excellent customer service and fast shipping!1470393

I wish this grease seal wear sleeve kit would have worked for my trailer. They seem like a good fix for an annoying problem that many of us have with boat trailers. My issue was with the sleeve installed on the spindle, the hub is pushed out 1/8" from is previous resting place. This pushes the castle nut further out and I cant even come close to installing the cotter pin back in its hole in the spindle threads. Even if I omit the washer behind the nut the hole is still not accessible for the pin. I called customer service and they were sympathetic to the situation but I cant return it because it's used. I'm not too pleased about eating this cost since there was no mention of this potential issue. So if you dont have another 1/8"of play behind the castle nut to work with then you may want to consider another option.1293515

Always fast and expert service at ETrailer.com.
I had a time looking for the right parts for my Yacht Club Trailer to replace wheel bearings and seals. Etrailer had everything I needed and more. I also added grease caps instead of bearing buddy's i have on there. ( Always have a hard time taking the grease gun off the fittings. )
Love the roller bunks i bought last year too.

It's still January, but i will be set to go this spring.
Etrailer is my go to place for all my boat and trailer needs.
Thanks guyz n gallz at Etrailer. I'm one happy camper.235840

Everything is A-Okay!!! Thanks for the great customer service!!!

I called and spoke to Angie about my concerns. When received the part does not fit as I anticipated. I asked to talk to a technical person. Given the name of a 'Jefees'(?) in TX. Left a VM. Then was given the name of Barry in Fl to talk to, all on Thursday. No responses at all from any of them. To return the part with all your exclusions and additional shipping costs I have to pay for is a waste of my time.1449935

very good products. would by again. 1372038

Haven’t installed yet but everything looks good. Quick efficient service.1428424

The seals were not correct, so I had to go to NAPA for the correct ones1266345

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. This spindle seal set is used with Unique BT Hubs. The grease seal has an inner diameter of 1.375 inches and an outer diameter of 1.98 inches.

I ordered wheel bearings, grease seals, and Bearing Buddies for my trailer. Delivery was fast, the items were all high-quality, and the videos on etrailer.com helped me install them. I'm especially happy with the grease seals, which include a stainless steel ring to cover the old dinged-up seal surface on my axle and prevent the new seals from wearing out quickly: "Spindle Grease Seal Set for L44649 Inner Bearing and 1.980 Bearing Buddy - BB60005".75958

I've an older small utility trailer with grease seals and seal wear rings that are not commonly available. I looked through trailer parts outlets in Seattle and on the web but ended up on-line with an etrailer customer rep. He knew exactly what I was after and had a kit to support it....for two hubs no less! I ordered on Monday with standard delivery which actually arrived the following Friday. With a Saturday parts installation, I was operational for Monday's yard waste haul. BTW: I had purchased the bearing/races locally but the shop only had 3 so I ordered the 4th from etrailer. Their price was $6.83 vs. $12.90 for the exact manufacture/make/model. If I had not already had the locally purchased races installed and the bearing greased, I wild have returned them and ordered 4 sets. Nuts.573023

Check your axles before ordering to see if you need to replace the spindle collars . Well made but did not need extra parts Originally contacted etrailer for help with the correct seal size for a 2002 Zieman single axle PWC trailer. Seal dimensions measured were approximately 1.38 inner and 1.980 outer with L44649 inner and outer bearings.
Thought that the collar was a grease deflector/shield. Did not realize that the collar insert was a separate part of the spindle. Just needed the seals, but theses came with a separate ss inner seal collars for the spindles. My old ones were OK with no grooves cut into them so I did not need to replace. New seals appear to be working fine.

Bought this set for my boat trailer to use in conjunction with my SS Bearing buddies.
They work as promised. As others have pointed you may have to file down the grove in your castle nut to get your cotter pin back in ...not a big deal. This is my second set in 2 years as I am in the habit of repacking my bearings on that schedule...so naturally its pretty hard to remove the seal without damaging it. Just remember to order the right set to fit your spindle..,they have a few different ones..717150

The seal ring just made an old rough bearing seal surface smooth again! Saved the spindles and from the suspension standpoint, I now have a safe new trailer. Bingo!1058500

Ordered wheel bearings for my trailer and first of all I had no Idea where I would find the help to find the right parts. etrailer helped me and I installed the parts sent and they worked like a charm. Back to full use and working well this past year. Not only did they send the part but also provided tips and techniques to remove the old and replace the new. For an weekend mechanic, they gave me the help I need to do the job quickly and safely.847995

Nothing wrong with the product. it deserves 5 stars. I gave it 4 stars because it wasn't part of a spindle set, i.e. I bought two spindle sets with smaller seals because the bearing and race sizes were what i needed but the seal in the spindle kit was not the size I needed so I had to throw away the seals that came with the spindle set and buy these. I knew that when placing the order. I would like etrailer to have a spindle set that includes this size seal.592210

Being no handyman I had to enlist my son's help, who's a mechanic. But he was too busy to call and order these parts himself, so I had to do it--and I really had no idea what I was supposed to order other than they were grease seals for my 17-foot trailer wheel-hubs... Luckily, upon calling I got to speak to Kathy who, with immense patience, guided me through until I understood where and what to look for. Even then I pretty much flipped a coin... The parts arrived sooner than expected (less than the 3-day shipping mode chosen) and were a perfect match. Thank you etrailer.com!453323

These things work great for rehabbing worn grease seal surfaces on older axles. I use them whenever I can, especially when worn, pitted, or damaged grease seal surfaces would otherwise prevent reusing an axle that is fine in every other way. It really helps to clean up where the new grease seal o-ring will seat on the spindle with emory cloth before installing. I've used them on some pretty rough axles and never had a leak since. 352937

Had grooves worn in spindles under rear seals. Thought, wonder if there's any way to put a bushing over worn grooves & use an oversize inner id seal? Was tired of grease slinging all over inner rim. This seal kit fixes problem just like new with its ss sleeves.Great product!!!!204191

this did fix my spindle/leaking grease seal issue, however I had to modify the spindle a little to make it work. The directions tell you #1 and #5 model seal kits sometimes don't fit some axles as intended based on axle/spindle design. I have an old 87' axle and this was the only product I could find that would work. Took a test drive and so far no more leaking grease seal. This worked when a regular grease seal would not have worked for me as my seal surface was old and damaged and worn. 555470

i ordered this part thinking all my troubles with grease leakage at inner seal would be cured. but when i received parts , there was a note on package that i may have to alter my retaining nut by shaving off the backside to make it thinner or by cutting the grooves where the cotter pin slips through a little deeper in order to get the hub on and secured. the stainless steel ring will not let my hub slide on deep enough to use original nut and pin. i wish this "NOTE" was listed on here and explained before i purchased....wasted money here! and still need a rear seal.49220

These seals were hard to find where I live so it was nice to see them available threw etrailer website.1121318

very happy every thing got here quickly,parts are all good and are the right fit.
little disappointed the bearing buddy kit could not be used entirely, the seals fit my spindles fine and will do the job but could not use the sleeves, would not fit over existing seal surface.
overall happy, service was excellent. 193184

Good product. Good service. 1291763

My axle spindes already have permanent stainless steel surface rings/ seal lips which are 1 3/8 or 1.375". This was the only way I could get a grease seal with an ID 1.375 and OD 1.980. Checked a 100 different places. Didn't need the other parts. Why doesn't any one carry that size seal???? ( ID 1.373 OD 1.980) Was Glad You had it . Thank you--OKB96422
