The 2005 Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Trailer could use either the 2.125" part # GS-2125DL or 2.250" part # GS-2250DL grease seal. Unfortunately, we don't have a way to look this up for any one trailer so it's best to take the hubs apart for yourself and simply measure them. There's also the option of reaching out to the axle manufacturer with the model. If all else fails you can just order both seals and return the incorrect one.
