Hi, I have a 2003 Monaco Roadmaster R4R, Cayman 34, DP, and my front hub is leaking. I need a Part Number, any help appreciated.

Thanks

I've done a couple of those seals and, it's a fairly straight forward job. I have the part number for my rear but, not my front. If you decide to tackle this job yourself, do not, repeat DO NOT, remove the wheel and tire AND THE HUB AS A UNIT! While some shops MAY do this as a time saver, a D/P wheel and tire hovers around 120-140 lbs, depending on tire size and all that. Adding a drum or disc to that is just adding more danger in moving that large mass around. Then, it's more of a pain in the a$$ to get the bearings adjusted with all that counter weight.
So, just remove the tire and wheel, then remove the hub.

As for you NEEDING BRAKES TOO, well, not necessarily. That depends on a lot of things. If your seal has leaked enough just to make a spot or two on the front shoes, it's highly possible to EXTRACT that oil from them. I've done it a zillion times. I've used the brand name "Brakleen" quite a few times but, there's others on the market for the same purpose. If, the shoes are severely coated and saturated, well, then it's more than likely time for shoes. And this all is assuming you have SHOES. You might have pads (disc brakes).

But, in any case, it's not hard to pull the front hub, turn it over and find a part number. Amazon beat all the local auto parts places when I was searching but, that's not always the case. It pays to shop around. Some of those seals run upwards of $40-$50 or so. Good luck.
