    I bought some cheap seals for my rear hubs and now I am paying for them. What are some good seals for these aluminum hubs?

    I prefer the Stemco Grit Guard 392- 9131. You need the correct tools for these as with the 47697's. No special tools = Scotseal Plus. CR and SKF are the same any more but the number maybe slightly different.

    A wheel seal will only be as good as the installation process. My favorite seal for a very rusty axle surface is the Stemco Guardian because it has a separate wear sleeve,but the installation is error free because it drives on the axle it one easy step instead of in the hub.

    Scotseal plus and conmet seals are good choices. The Stemco Voyager line is comparable with these on clean rust free parts.

    I have given up on tradition CR scotseals and national up here in the rust belt. The seals surfaces are just too narrow and frankly they just dont have the longevity.
