Overview

About wheel seal replacement.

Leaking wheel seals contaminate brakes and starve bearings of lubricant. Replacement stops the leak before it causes bigger damage.

A mobile mechanic can look at the unit where it stands, whether that is the roadside, a yard or a jobsite. That can avoid a tow and shorten downtime when the fault is suited to on-site work.

  • Bearing play damaging the seal

Practical tips
