great post, I do my bearing packing myself. hey jbarka, next time you do that, try some surgical, or rubber gloves. those come in handy. also do yourself a favor and buy a bearing packer, it's sooo much easier and much faster.
where do you buy the seals from? i usually go to my dealer (thats the only time i go there) but they charge like $16 per seal. that seems like a ripoff. i need to do mine soon, but it's been too cold lately.

If you have a Dexter axle they have a great on line web site. You have to search out which axle and brake diameter you have but then it get's easier.
Dexter cross reference on seals they tell you several brands to use. I go with the name brand/premium parts. Even then a lot are made outside the states now.
Here is the main site.
Dexteraxle.comPersonally I get mine at NAPA. Once you have the right part numbers the shopping is easier.
The gloves, h'mm may try that. To use to doing it the old way but open to new tricks...
Thanks
