Replacement Bearing Kit for 3,500 lb Axle on Shorelander Trailer  

Question:

I need grease seals for my shorelander trailer with a 3500# tapered axle. Kit BK2-100 has the correct bearings but the grease seal might not be right. The problem that I see is that Shorelander uses a spindle sleeve that has an OD of 1.749. The grease seal that Shorelander specifies is 1.741 x 2.561 The grease seal included in the Bk2-100 kit measures 1.719 x 2.565 Will the grease seal included in your kit work with the Shorelander spindle sleeve or will it be too tight?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The grease seal that comes with the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and Al-Ko Axles - 3,500 lb with #84 Spindles # BK2-100 will definitely work for your application.

You want grease seals to be as close to matching specs as possible, but a difference of 0.008" won't be an issue - it's actually better that it is slightly smaller than it would be for it to be slightly bigger.
