I have an older gooseneck trailer with a AL-KO 7200 brake hub on it. Can you tell me what the number for the grease seal would be for this trailer? Thanks

The AL-KO 7,200 Lb Axle most likely uses the 10-36 Grease Seal part # RG06-070 which is 2.250" I.D. and 3.376" O.D. or the 10-10 Grease Seal part # RG06-090 which is 2.125" I.D. and 3.376" O.D. Therefore, you will need to measure or cross reference the old part number.
