Blew a wheel seal

Penguin is driving down the road and his car quits moving. He has it towed to a shop. Mechanic says it'll be a little while to figure out what is wrong with the transmission. On the way to the shop, the penguin noticed an ice cream shop about a block away and penguins just love ice cream, so he goes there to have some while waiting. He gets a dish of vanilla ice ceam, but because penguins have no hands, he just dips his beak into the bowl. Doing so, he gets a little on his chest and neck. He goes back to the shop, where the mechanic says, "Blew a seal". The penguin replies, "No, it's just a little ice cream".

 

Thats funny

 

idk if its an inner seal she might just spew it all out again if its real thin.. i know on a truck i wouldnt do it as it could cost you your rears.

 

u said u run in North Dakota...how far away is the nearest truck stop??? if u r afraid of burning up a bearing then hop in ur personal auto and drive to the nearest truck stop to get parts and fix it urself....where there is a will the is a way... ive laid in my driveway till late at night to fix something so i could run the next day.

 

i have yet to find any conventional truckstops in ND. usually it's just a parking lot. and if your lucky. fuel and a cafe.
and a very high chance that the parking lot is already full of tankers. you'll be lucky to find ONE spot to park.

i hate going into ND just for the fact there's no place to take a nap. let alone camp out. any places there are usually have a no truck parking sign.

kind of like washington. you gots a TA east of seattle, and a petro and J in spokane. the rest are just parking lots more or less with a few actually having a scale and some food.

 

put some lucas oil stabilzer in the hub & keep an eye on it. sometimes a very minor leak, will look like it's leaking out a gal an hour, the way it sprays all over everything. if you fill hub & check every 50,75 or 100 miles & have to add none, or just a few ounces, that will give you an idea of how bad the leak is.

 

Is this an outer seal or inner seal? If it's the inner seal you're gambling pretty good. Also don't forget if you go too long you'll have to replace the shoes as well.

 

:smt017Maybe you all have different trailers than I do, but all of mine have always only had one seal. An inner one. Did I miss something ?

 

There is a seal or gasket where the outer cap bolts on it, so it could leak there as well.
