Double Lip Seal Recommendation for a Taiwan TCM 21333TB Seal Replacement

Published 06/19/2015

Question:

We need replacement grease seals for the wheel hub assembly on an Alumilite Free Spirit 5th wheel trailer. The original seals are marked Taiwan TCM 21333 TBinch and have a garter spring. I find a suggested match on your web site, #10-1 but that particular seal does not have a garter spring. I do not have a micrometer so cannot measure them to match your chart. Should I mail one for the correct match-up? Thanks for your help.

The spring you are referencing is what makes a grease seal a double lip seal. The # 10-1 is a single lip seal, and the 10-10 part # RG06-090 is the double lip seal.
