Question:

My 1997 Coleman fleetwood Bayport popup campers original hub is marked 8-257. The bearings both inner and outer are marked L44649, the races are L44610, and the grease seal is 13194TB. My question is if this hub is the appropriate replacement for a complete brakes change and if the 10-9 seal will work with my popups axle? In addition, if the 8-257-5UC3 hub is a good replacement, would I need to use the supplied 10-9 grease seals that comes with the new hub or would i need to use the 13194 grease seals? I notice that the dimensions are a little different O.D. is a little smaller in the thousandths position, I.D is defenitely smaller. Is it acceptable to use 13194 grease seals with this hub? The grease seal is my only hangup at this point.

Expert Reply:

The Trailer Hub and Drum part # 8-257-5UC3 would be the correct hub to use. You will need to order two of the Grease Seals part # 13194 to use on your spindle instead of the included # 10-9 seals.

Other than that one small detail you would be good to go with these hubs as a replacement on your 1997 Coleman Fleetwood Bayport Camper.
