What Can Cause Multiple Grease Seals To Leak On Shorelandr Boat Trailer
Updated 05/17/2023 | Published 05/15/2023
Question:
I have a 2016 shorelandr boat trailer and I have replaced the grease seal 6 times and even bought new hub kit and it’s still leaks grease on one side only , where the inner part of seal and spindle meet . My only conclusion is the spindle is no good. Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:
What you need to do is use digital calipers # PTW80157 to measure the surface of the spindle where the grease seal rides (look at below diagram for this location), and with that measurement I can tell you is there's a spindle issue, or some other issue to look for.
