Does Grease Seal # 34823 Feature a Garter Spring

Question

Question:

Part # 34823, Double Lip Grease Seal - ID 1.249inch / OD 1.983 Do these seals include a garter spring? The description does not say either way, and there are no pictures of the back side of the seal, but it appears there may be one in the brief views of the back side of the seal in the video review.

There is indeed a garter spring in the # 34823 Double-Lip Grease Seal. If you view the product description video, you can briefly see the spring. I'd captured a frame from the video where you can see the spring a bit better.

Your trailer has axles rated for 3,500 lbs. The inner bearing for that trailer is an L68149 and the outer is L44649. Bearing kit #BK2-100 has the correct bearings and races but you would need a different seal, #168233, available separately.

According to EZ Loader, the correct inner and outer bearing for your boat trailer is #L44649. This uses a 12194TC grease seal but from what we have found in the past, the #34823 will work as a replacement.

In order to verify the spindle dimensions so that you can pick out the correct hub/drum you have to get exact dimensions. For that you need to use a digital caliper like part #PTW80157. For how old your trailer is this is especially important as the…

Hey Doug, so there's a chance what you need is the part #BB1980T-SS from what we've learned from previous customers over the years but you would need to measure the hub bore where the current cap installs. If it's 1.98 inch this is…
