Topic: Grease Seals Posted: 13 Mar 2018 at 8:41pm |
We recently purchased a Rpod 180 and drove it back from
Nevada. Stayed the first night in it in Death Valley. All the
appliances operated perfectly except the right brake did not operate.
When we got back home in Oregon I removed the brake drum and found the shoes and
brake magnet coated with a thick layer of grease. The local NAPA had the
same part number grease seals ($2.50) and also purchased a set of wheel bearings.
NAPA had a kit with bearings, seals (these were aftermarket) and a real
cap. As soon as the rain slow will check the other side and repack the wheel bearings. I'm an Amsoil fan so I have plenty of grease. |

Seals, bearings , etc can be purchased locally, I've had excellent luck with NAPA, even our local O'Reilly's has access to them. Best you know the number of the component you are looking for. I like locally because if there is an issue I can take it back quickly.

NINE SIXTEENTHS might be a bit misleading as well (as that comes to .5625, not .565.), but I wanted to get numerals out of the text. Suffice it to say, the space is less than three inches, and not over five inches. |

okay little confused here everybody is saying the OD is 5.565 but the links to the part sources are showing 2.565 OD is this a typo? which is right size i guessing the 2.565 OD is the good number 5.565 OD would be a pretty big seal.

Yup thats the procedures that the etrailer videos follow. Good luck with it, it's really not hard at all, more messy than anything, I tried to video tape it the year I did it and after the first few minutes I saw I could no longer touch my camera. LOL |

OK, thanks Travis. I'm taking the procedure straight out of the Lippert Master Towable Manual and condensing it for reference here. Maybe something we can include in the POD Instruction Manual, but I'll leave that up to Doug. We'll see how it looks when finished. I'll be pulling the POD out of storage 1 March to do the service...more later.

I did mine a few years ago, got my parts from etrailer. Was a messy job but one I'm glad to have tucked under my belt now and know how to do and service them. The videos on etrailer are spot on for the process and what to do if you need any pointers Podster.
