You may have a choice of a single or double lip seal. I recommend the double lip.

The trailers all use the same seal for each axle rating and there are only about 4 different ratings.

My local NAPA store has a section dedicated to trailers and has the seals bearings and lots of other items for trailers.

e Trailer is also a good source but takes about a week for shipping.

I order my seals from e Trailer and keep 6 on hand for the next time I want to do the bearings. Why 6 that is in case I damage a seal while installing or as happened once I installed the seal before the bearing! Maybe a little Alzheimer problem.

I also keep a set of greased bearings (in a zip lock bag)in the trailer along with the seals in case I ever have a bearing problem on the road.

If you have the EZ-Lube system, be sure you get double lip lest you find grease on your brake shoes. Beware of cross-referencing as it can give you a single lip, which will fit, but will not be as effective regarding the grease problem.

Our NAPA dealer has a e-trailer display with everything you'd need for axle service.

Had to stop today and pickup a 50 amp circuit breaker so I took a look at the trailer display. Ours has brake drums, spindles, hubs, bearings & races, dust covers, seals, brake shoes, magnets and other things that I can't remember.

I was going to repack mine a couple weeks ago. Then I found out thru e trailer that it was about $6 per wheel for the grease seals or for an extra $6 a wheel I could get all new bearings, races, and grease seals. Buttoned it back up and changed everything the following weekend. To me the peace of mind of all new bearings etc was worth more than the extra $24. You may want to re-think the whole repacking thing.

Did you change the bearing race (cups)?

AxleTech bearing kit parts catalog

I get mine at Kaman bearing, Applied industrial technologies or any local truck or bearing shop should be able to cross it over. If you don't have a number, get a decent measurement with calipers or mic, ID, OD and width, and lip design. Any decent shop should be able to get something close.

This was on end of my axle. Nothing on my seal..
