Brand and model of trailer?

Napa auto usually carries the correct seals as will northern to for the most part.   With a parts diagram for your trailer you can get the right seal number, and Napa can cross reference for you.

I’m assuming the seal was hard to install on the hub?   If so, get a small chunk of 2x4 and put it on top of the hub seal, then pound the wood with a hammer.  Much easier to seat the new seal and it guarantees the seal is flat with the hub.

Where you headed south?[/QUOTE]

its a shorelander  SLR22LW

i dont think it was an issue installing the seal, maybe removing the wrong sized one was an issue, just finding the right size replacement, and the the whole deal with the spindle sleeve not working for me..

and im familiar with NAPA, but not northern,  might be a minnesota thing?  :)

and we go down to florida every spring and drag giant shiners around looking for 10 lb plus large mouth..  cant wait![/QUOTE]
