Then the oversize seal runs on the outside of the cup. You put pressure on the bearing buddy and the oring just keeps the grease from going out between the spindle and where the cup meet.All but one size is under $13 one is 21. I think it's worth a try, if it works great,alot cheaper than having a spindle replaced only to rust out again.


I have a set of these on my 81 trailer, 2 years, lots of road miles and they've never leaked. The seal is the same design as original, just sized to go over the sleeve. The sleeve itself has a simple O ring and seems to work fine. You might be able to force grease out of the seals if you over fill the bearing buddy with a grease gun but you will do that with just about any seal.
