Why is this so hard? (bearing seals question)

Sep 28, 2009 11 Replies

Old Monkey Wards boat trailer, doing the bearings. Found the bearings, need a seal with 1-3/8" ID, 2.3/8" OD. Checked northerntool, mcmaster, msc, and grainger. Stupid search functions are WORTHLESS!! Any sources?

Me, again. I agree about the worthless search functions. Seems they can't handle more than one word, either.

Can we assume you tried the auto parts store?

Roy, If you still have the old seal, take a look at the 'rubber' portion of the seal with a magnifing glass. Usually the seal number is molded into the seal (outer side) in really.. really tiny letters. If the number is there your local auto parts can cross ref for you. HTH Bob rgentry at oz dot net

Tull bearing in N.E. Mnpls.

My local NAPA guys are great at such things. Take in the old one.

Go to your local autoparts store.

Local phone book under bearing supply. Places like King bearing and Motion Industries know their stuff and will give you the right part.

Not sure if this is what you want though.

If he'll look at this page and go down to the "Small Bore Bonded Seal" catalog he can look up any seal he needs.
