2007 AR230 Factory trailer wheel bearing seals

[Bfreeman]

Need to repack my bearings soon and rather not stop and run to the auto parts store to match wheel bearing seals. Does anyone have a confirmed website or know the size of the seals so I can order them. 2007 AR230 factory black painted trailer.

They should just be normal 3.5k trailer axle seals. Any TSC or Rural King, and likely just about any parts store will have them. Just call and ask if they stock them. I haven’t had to dive into mine yet to where I can absolutely promise it, but I sell trailers and trailer parts for a living, and I’ve never seen any other bearings and seals for a 3.5k axle. In fact, we sell the whole bearing and seal kit for about $20/wheel (ish)... I forget the exact price...

I just went through this and it was PITA. My 2006 MFI trailer has 2.56OD 1.68ID seals that I could not source locally. From what I was told that size is specific to boat trailers for some reason. I believe the dexter part number is 010-172-00. I ended up ordering them off eBay. The part number I actually purchased was 168255TB

Wish I had seen this before leaving work. I’ll try to look into it tomorrow.

came across some info while back for a “MFI” trailer?!? Is that the factory trailer?

I am going to have to hold off until I get mine apart, but the only seal shown in my book that is for a 3.5K axle is the 010-019-00, which has an ID of 1.719” and OD of 2.565”. The other 3.5k axle shown down a little bit is an Agricultural axle, not intended for highway use.
