Tail-Gator 255RR Wheel Bearing Dust Seal?

[Team707]

Does anyone know how I might find the info on the wheel bearing dust seal for my 2001 Tail-Gator 255RR?

I want to swap the wheels on Friday and I'll do the wheel bearings while I'm at it. I want to buy the bearing cap/seal ahead of time so I can knock it all out at once.

I always find it easier to pull the old one first and get the numbers to make sure. I understand the desire to get parts ahead of time. Fortunately, rv axles tend to be fairly standard and use the same seals for multiple axles. Yours is getting up there in age, but hopefully you can still read the tag on the axle to verify which one you have. If not, we can guess at it based on the trailer specs.

I climbed under to read the tag but it's too worn.
It's a 255 RR model, two axles (obviously),
GVWR 11,220
UVL 6,490
225/75R15 wheels.

My guess is this is what you need based on the specs of the trailer.

A word of caution about hub grease seals. Do not use a "single lip grease seal" on a trailer hub. ALWAYS use "double lip grease seals" !!!!!

There have been more grease contaminated brake show linings from "single lip seal leakage" than you can shake a stick at....

And if you (or someone else) elects to use the EZ Lube system, a single lip grease seal won't contain the pressure when you inject grease into the hub, so a "guaranteed brake job" in the works !!!!!

Thanks John and BSmith. I don't know if they have the Ezlube system but I think I'll take BSmith's advice and pull one wheel and hub tonight so I can get all the part numbers and measurements I need, then go from there.
I appreciate the help!

Thanks to everyone who helped, I found the whole bearing kit at Princess Auto here in Toronto for about $50 (Canadian) per wheel. It went in with little issues. I was shocked at how loose the spindle nuts are on these, but that's how they're supposed to be!
