Does Grease Seal Thickness Matter When Picking Out Replacement
Published 10/04/2017
Question:
I ordered trailer wheel bearing grease seals from etrailer, and realized when I received that the thickness is half .25 of the original one .5. The inner an outer diameters are same. Would the thickness difference matter? Thanks.

Thickness won't really matter that much. The seal # 34823 is .25 inch thick but if the inside and outside diameters match what you have it will work just fine.
