How to Measure to Determine the Correct Grease Seal for a Trailer Spindle

Question

Question:

Will AD2527EO seal with O.D. 2.332 fit a hub which has a AF2527E seal with a O.D 2.312. The OD. 2.312 was measured with a home ruler and may not be accurate.

The # 168233 Double Lip Grease Seal has an outside diameter of 2.332 inches and an inside diameter of 1.688 inches. This seal is not compatible with a AF2527E seal with a O.D 2.312, because, even though the O.D. id very close, the inner diameter of the is seal is 1.750 inches and would not be the correct fit for the spindle diameter.

You will need to take an accurate measurement of the outside diameter of your existing seal, or the inside diameter of the mounting surface for the seal in the hub. You will also need an accurate measurement of the spindle at the seal surface. I have posted a photo to show the dimensions you will need to measure. A dial caliper will provide an accurate measurement to determine the correct seal for your hub and spindle.

It sounds like you may need the 10-42 Seal with 1.75 inch inner diameter and 2.33 inch outer diameter, if you have a 2,800 lb Dexter axle.

Unfortunately we don't have any grease seals available with those dimensions. It sounds like you're looking for a standard vehicle hub seal, where all of ours are designed for trailer spindles. You will probably find more luck at a local auto parts shop.

Unfortunately we don't have any grease seals that match those dimensions. Is there by chance a number stamped into the inside of the seal?

Typically the hub would be dropped into the rim from the rear until it seats on the lip that runs around the inside of the rim. The rim clamps would then be put in place, and evenly tightened to secure the hub to the rim. If the hub is not seated…

I spoke to my contact and the Rhino Rack roof rack that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Kia Sedona that consists of part numbers #RRVA126B-2 and #RRSX100 would add about 3-1/2 inches to the height of your vehicle.

The bearings that go on a 1.06" spindle are item #L44649. These are found in this configuration on 2,000 lbs - 2,700 lbs axles. If you can find it there is typically an axle tag or engraving somewhere on the axle that'll have a serial number…

Answer 9

In almost all cases 3,500 lb axles will all use the same bearings. If your trailer has a Lippert or Dexter 3,500 lb axle then yeah they would be the same. But to be safe it won't hurt to pull them off and get the numbers. If you are sure you need…
