Trailer Hub Grease Seals Need to be Greased before Install
Updated 03/30/2022 | Published 03/29/2022
Question:
Grease seal issue. Should a new seal have grease placed on the rubber at installation onto axle spindle? Also, I presume the outer races should NOT have lubricant placed on the outer edge when installing into hub?

It is not required to grease the rubber portion of hub seals like the # GS-2250DL that you referenced. You would not need to do that with the races either.
