Grease Seal For A 5736575 6,000lb Dexter Axle

Question

Question:

Hi I have a fifth wheel RV with Dexter 6000lb axles. Looking to repack wheel bearings. Are you able to provide the correct seals if I give you the axle specs? Dexter number is 5736575. It is a tandem setup on a forest river unit with electric drum brakes. Thank you.

The correct grease seal for your Dexter axle is # GS-2250DL. If you find your bearings are also in need of replacement then you would want to use part # 15123 and # 25580. If you discover any other kind of damage to the hubs or brake assemblies I'd be happy to find replacements for those as well.
