Changing a Trailer Axle Wheel Seal

[@miscellaneous037]

Was looking for a video to help tear down and repack my boat trailer hubs. Interesting how the parts are all the same with the size and weight being the only things that vary. Great video! Thank you.

[@blthetube1962]

As a truck driver, I have a lot of respect for what you do...... Yes officer, I inspected it this morning....... please...please....please... Good video... I learned something.

[@jcramirez2233]

Great job but Wrong torque procedure. 200lbs ft 3x while spinning wheel hub back off til loose (1/2turn) ,then 100ft lbs 3x rotate tire, then back off 1dimple or 1/4turn. This is for this pro torque style Jamnut

[@JuanRios-dt5qk]

Is the same torques he just started with the higher and work his way down to the 50lb ft torque

[@docbob5148]

I watched this video and I agree with the last comment for the procedure for Pro torque nuts, and not backing of 1/4 turn is going to result in that wheel running hot. Also you put in way to much grease, with that much grease you have no room for expansion or plug the vent hole on the end of the stub and that will cause that seal to start to leak. I also never put a seal in dry, I always put a little bit of oil on the seal before installing and a little bit on oil on the spindle before installing the hub no matter what brand of seal I install. I also switched from Stemco seals to National seals and I have way less seal failure with National. I do use the Pro torque nuts. I also never put the gasket on dry, I put some anti-seize between the cap & gasket & gasket & hub, I fine that the gasket will not stick to the cap or hub. I know some techs would and manufactures would disagree with me but I have been doing this for 30 years and have found this method to be full prof. We also retorque our wheel bearings on our trailer 1st a year and have found that helps a great deal to prevent leaking seals.

Nice!

[@kristinaLoVESmonster]

I totally agree with you way to much grease hy will have a seal leak in no time

[@vicpetrishak7705]

Clean axle and wheel hub surfaces with a emery flap wheel on a die grinder . Apply #2 Permatex sealant on the outside of metal banded wheel seals . Clean cup and cone with either . 5/16~18 tap installed in cordless drill to clean out hubcap bolt holes . Apply anti-seize to hubcap bolts . 67/23

[@702trucker]

Great video! I can truly say I learned something today! I also enjoyed cracking up every time you had to cuss about the situation!! Lol

[@jf-he7dd]

Do you have to fill the hole with hung with semi fluid grease. Shouldn’t we leave some space inside as to not create too much pressure.

[@machtees]

Is that grease instead of hub oil?

[@iMasterMechanics_1]

lmfao the end of the video was my favorite part

[@JS-jv6rg]

Every how many miles do you do this?

[@dalephillips8250]

Thanks for the tutorial sir......knowing is half the battle but I'd have to get jacks and impact wrenches strong enough to remove wheels first.

[@Tommytv2]

Buy a torque multiplier from northern tools. Those things are a beast

[@dalephillips8250]

@@Tommytv2 thanks I'll look into it.....can it even enable a battery powered impact wrench to pull off lug nuts? OH I just looked them up and they are a completely separate tool/Ratchet ..pretty expensive too. Oh the one an Norther tool isn't as expensive.

[@Tommytv2]

[@jukijuki9335]

Buen video.como es la escala del torque que seguistes? 250,150,50 y al final cuanto era ???

[@jessea1743]

Si

[@jorsot8839]

Ey bro I just change 2 seals on a trailer on same axle I put a new one and lead put second one and leak what do you think I’m doing wrong it’s a double not axle torque inner to 200 backed off 1 turn re torque to 50 then back off 1/4 set locking washer torque outer not to 300

[@MariaOrLex]

Can you please tell me that type of grease is that

[@bashar86]

Thank you for sharing Do u have a part number for the socket, seal driver And what is that semi-fluid brand if you can share a link. Thank you sir

[@johngambrel4929]

Chevron delo is what we put in from the factory.

[@KenworthPiterbiltovich]

What type of semi fluid grease is that? Chevron? Mobile?

[@Luisblacktop]

Love your arms !!!! But you forgot to show us how to check the wear and tear on the bearings papi!!!

[@duncanjulio2555]

pro tip : you can watch series at KaldroStream. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@guillermotrace4391]

@Duncan Julio Yea, I've been watching on kaldrostream for since november myself =)

[@eduardosolano5818]

Thanks,, very good explanation 👍, and what s the name of the grease ?

[@davidryan787]

Great video, thank you!

[@hawkknight4223]

It’s not a bad video if it shows the reality of Murphy’s Law! Thank you for the video though.

[@airyfast]

Is that 50 foot lbs?, seems like a lot. Great video, thanks

[@charlesb4267]

I see you questioned that 50 food pounds final setting, glad to see someone was questioning that and have added a link in a separate comment to verify the correct procedure.

[@juniormints6454]

watre you doin puttin all that mustard in that truck

[@eddiemartinez3749]

How do you check the grease without taking the cap off

[@trapporkpiggy1916]

For got to measure the dial indicator ply after torque

[@peyton.c8399]

Hey I'm 17 new just starting out before you take the tires off do you back of the breaks ? Any information would be greatly appreciated thanks.

[@tx1999]

Yes, that way you can take the drum out

[@peyton.c8399]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Where can I buy a torque wrench like that one and price

[@fleettechpph5255]

[@armenmiskarov6101]

This is an excellent video tutorial! Great Job! What kind of trailer hub is this?

[@tonyfreeman5048]

It doesn't look like the seal was leaking. Good video though

[@abdullahalslma7578]

50 foot lbs is Too much and will crush your Bearings for sure , all you have to do is to back it one Dimple since it’s a trailer

[@mikesbobcatservicesllc-mic6927]

Obviously your great mechanic

[@davecao908]

First time to see this. I didnt understand it.

[@trewright1482]

Lubricate the ID of the seal before sliding onto the spindle.

[@mrwaylon5792]

You totally did that whole job wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@GuitarLessonCharts]

Complete noob lol gave me a good chuckle when you got the hub stuck to the drum after pounding in the seal and then stuck your hand through the hub getting grease all over your arm hahha. Also your final pack on the bearings isn't to spec but looks like a good cheater procedure. Sometimes there's too many errors following specs. this way is is better for newbs.

[@mikeleonard7722]

never ever install a dry seal

[@mgventure1]

Stemco instructions for this Voyager seal says to install seal without any lube on the outside diameter. Most 100% OD rubber seal manufacturers do require lube on the OD.
