How to Determine if There is a Trailer Grease Seal Available before Destroying Old Seal
Updated 05/17/2019 | Published 05/16/2019
Question:
Hi, I have a 1959 Shasta Travel Trailer, one axle. I’d like to get my wheel bearings repacked/greased but my mechanic is nervous that he won’t be able to find the correct seal to put back on after he removes the current one. Do you have the correct replacement parts for my vintage trailer? Thanks for your help/information.

It's a legit concern the mechanic has as replacement grease seals sometimes can be hard to find. What he can do though before destroying the old seal is pull the hub off and measure the spindle where the seal rides and then also measure the outer diameter of the seal as it installs in the hub. With those two measurements we can determine if there's a seal that will replace it. I also attached a link to all of the seals we offer where you can select your inner and outer dimensions and see what would fit.
