Bore Sealant for Trailer Oil Seals
Question:
If you read Dexters instructions on Pg 39, 2, it says, and I quote Coat the O.D. of a new seal with a bore sealant Permatex or equivalent prior to installation. I cant seem to find any Permatex product called BORE SEALANT for the life of me! Do you have a Permatex part number ?

Expert Reply:
RTV high temperature silicone is what you are looking for. So something such as # LT37464, # LT37467, or # LT37466 would work for you. This is for oil seals that have metal on the outsides like # 91030. No sealant can get on the rubber parts. Just a little bit all the way around should be all you need.
