Question:

Will the 10-63 seal work on my 10,000 lb dexter axles with 9-27 hubs?

asked by: Nathan J

Expert Reply:

The 9-27 (it's 9-27-1, actually) brake drum is part of a 2 piece hub/drum that uses # 8-214-5UC1 for the oil bath hub assembly. The correct oil seal is part # 10-56. The seal has an OD of 4.5 inches, and an ID of 3.125 inches. The # 10-63 you'd mentioned is too small, as its typically used with 8K capacity axles, so it wouldn't be compatible.
