Hello,
I just rebuilt the hubs on my Gator trailer. I put all new races and bearings in and repacked them. the previous owner had National seals part number 6283, and I am not sure these are the correct seals. When i pulled the hubs off both sides the seals stayed on the spindle and the inner bearings stayed the spindle as well. I used a wooden mallet to remove the seals and inner bearings. I went to my local NAPA guy and he crosse the National seals to an SKF seal that looked similar but the geometry was different. It appears these seals are tight on the spindle and seal on the hub? I have never seen a set up like this before - is this correct? If not does anyone know the correct seal part number? Unfortunately the year of this trailer is unknown but I believe it is from the 60s.
thanks in advance for any info,
jonny
