Helpful Expert Reply:

Your GS1500SL is a single lip version of the Grease Seal # 10-9 which has a double lip on the seal to help prevent grease from escaping while also keeping water and dirt out of the hub. This grease seal is included in the Bearing Kit # BK1-150 which includes the inner and outer Bearing # L44649 for your trailer hub.

I recommend filling the bearings and hubs with the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 during installation. You can also use a Grease Gun # L30416 to fill the EZ lube spindle if your axle has the grease zerk or add the Bearing Buddy # BB1980A-SS to be able to completely fill the hubs and bearings with grease.
