V/M Custom Boat Trailers

Disclaimer: Due to the heavy demand of the summer boating season, we recommend ordering parts at least two weeks prior to the desired delivery date. For custom manufactured parts (Guide-ons, Axles, etc), it may take longer. If you have a deadline to meet, call us and let us know so we can best assist you in getting the parts you want in the desired time frame.

Grease Seals
Each hub has a rear (inner) seal which keeps grease from leaking out of the back of the hub. The spring-loaded seals used on your axle are the best available for the application. The axle spindles are equipped with permanent, polished stainless steel seal surfaces for the seals to rotate on. By maintaining the grease level, the system continuously lubricates the seal lips. This system should provide up to 100,000 miles of service (many years of use for most trailers) before seals need to be replaced.
Grease Leakage At Rear Seal
Visually check seals periodically. No rotating seal is perfect. It's normal to see a film of oil around the seal area. A slight amount of grease leakage won't hurt anything, but if the leakage becomes excessive it's time to eliminate the problem. This usually means disassembling the hub and replacing the seal.

On axles with drum brakes, you must remove the drum to check the seal condition. If you don't have to add grease to the brake axle, the seal is working properly. On the other hand, if you find you are constantly adding grease or have to add an excessive amount of grease, the seal is probably leaking or the brake is overheating. You should remove the hub drum and check the brake and seal. Grease leakage can't be tolerated on axles with brakes because if grease gets on brake linings the brakes won't help to stop trailer.
Replacing Seals
The hub or hub drum must be removed from the axle and the seal forced out. It is impossible to remove the seal without damaging it. So if you remove it for any reason, plan on replacing it. Because your seals are a high quality design not widely available, it is recommended that you obtain your replacement from V M Boat Trailers.
