 Calendar Event: Wheel seals (part numbers, etc.)Posted: 19 Jul 2019 at 10:47am |

2016
RPod R179 I need to purchase wheel seals from a dealer. They ask for VIN and axle tag number. VIN retrieval was no problem, but I find no info online or in my owner's manual regarding an axle tag number. Any help much appreciated! |

Good decisions come from experience. Experience, well.... that comes from bad decisions.

That axle tag should be on the axle itself. Crawl under the trailer and look for it...write down the number or take a picture of it with your phone.

You most likely have a Lippert 3500 lb axle in which case the correct seal is Lippert part number 122087. You can order these or equivalent on the 'zon or from etrailer or another online source of your choice.
Here's a link to the Lippert manual, the parts breakdown is on page 25. |

Steve here: I have a RP-18o and when we purchased the pod the brake liners were soaked with grease. During the brake shoe cleaning and repacking the bearing I found that NAPA has the original seals for about $1.79. If you like I can go thru my receipts and find the NAPA part number and give it to you. Only as a suggestion I purchased a set of wheel bearings and and extra seal that is kept in the trailer. I hand packed the bearings and sealed them in a seal-a-meal vacuum bag.
