Thread: Trailer Wheel Bearing Seals??

Usually you stuff the seal getting it out. They are cheap so don't worry about that.

Just don't damage the number on the seal, you may need that to get new ones. In fact, get the new ones first.

Having a tool like the one with the red handle makes it much easier to remove the seal:

Thanks or that...They are out.

All I did was turn the hub so the seal was facing down to workbench, put a brick either side and then got a larhe cold chsile and taped it out.

Come out with noo probs and no damage at all

But get this the org bearing are to small for the new hubs ! I cleaned the bearing all up and repacked with new grease,put the rear bearing and seal on and I noticed the whole hub seemed to go back a far way by looking that the axle thread.

Put front bearing on and slowly eased in but there is about about a 3mm gap between the hub and the bearing and I put the nut on and did it up tight and have leaps of slop.....so I guess back to the trailer place to get bigger bearings after they told me they would fit !

Pardon me for asking - I know this is a really stupid question, but is the 2nd part of the bearing - the track it runs on, is it still in the hub? That may account for the slop, as LR bearings don't usually get mistaken for others

In trailer bearings, there appears to be two sizes - Holden and Falcon.

Which do you have?

What happens when you:

(a) Go into ALKO with a printout of their page with the LR hubs listed?

Or

(b) You ring up and ask for a price on hub xyz (without mentioning Land Rover)?
