Replacing Bearing Seals on Older DICO Hub and Drum

Question:

I have a Shorlandr Trailer with surge brake system on the rear axle. I am not sure the age on the trailer but it is early 1980s. I am looking for replacement seals for the Drum brake. The part number embosed on the drum is DICO 15638. Could someone point me in the right direction for replacement parts.

The best way to identify the seal needed, is to get the number that is stamped or imprinted on the seal. You may have to remove the seal in order to see the numbers.

If you cannot find the number on the seal, if you can find the numbers on the inner and outer bearings, I can probably figure out the seal that way.
