Review on πŸ”§ Lippert 333960 RV and Trailer Axle Grease Seal 3500LB - 1.719" Inner Diameter, 2.565" Outer Diameter (2 pack) by Steve Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but is very brittle

This grease is too brittle. The metal is very soft to the touch and easily damaged during installation. The first seal I installed was severely damaged by burrs on the inner edge of the hub. I was able to salvage the gasket by removing and reshaping the leading edge that had been torn by a burr during gasket installation. I had to use a Dremel tool to bevel the hub enough to create a pronounced taper to start caulking. I have installed many oil seals over the past fifty years and have never encountered a seal made of such a soft and easily damaged metal. The difference between the sigils I removed and these sigils was easy to tell as the old sigils were made of much stronger steel. Next time I will pay more and use Timken seals.
