I inherited a old 1975 camping trailer from my dad. I've been using it on very short trips over the last few years.this week I decided to do the wheel bearings and seals.
As I got everything apart I looked at the grease seals and they look like nothing I have seen before.
Long story short after hunting down some one who told me these seals were common in the 50's and used with felt I have no way of replacing the grease seals.(manufacturer suggests I replace the axles)
(My seal has rubber and will be completely destroyed when I peel it from the drum)
Has anyone MacGyvered one of these seals back into service good for a 1000 mile trip?
(I really don't have the funds for a set of new axles this year)
