Wheel seal driver recommendation

Pick the seal you want first. Then buy the driver for that brand seal. Most of the brand name stuff will be pricey unless you find it second hand. All of the drivers fit the seals differently. Wheel seal driver will not work on any pinion seals.

Spicer has a nice driver set for common diff seals. Again each driver will be custom fit to each seal.

Nothing universal is worth a crap IMO.

 

If I have to pick I’m going with STEMCO.

Guardian HP on a rusty axle.

Voyager on aluminum hub that has a spotless axle.

Keep in mind the tooling is different for each of the above seal types.

Tractor, trailer makes no difference.

If you just pick any old seal from the local parts house, I’d suggest finding a supplier that stocks what you prefer and get the tools to fit those seals. Fleet pride stocks some and can order the tooling.

 

If you're a great customer at one of these places like Fleetpride, they'll give you the tools.

They usually have stemco seal drivers and wear ring installers in stock, and they give them to shops. Maybe they'll give one if you're a good enough customer

 

I've been buying all icon tools lately and have been really happy with them this seal driver kit included. https://www.harborfreight.com/aluminum-bearing-and-seal-driver-set-16-piece-58262.html

I just used it for a wheel seal on my steer axle and it worked nicely. I'd guess with all the sizes you could find one that would work for just about every seal on the truck minus the special ones like the rear main and such.

 

I used to use Stemco GritGuard and have all the tooling to install the two piece seals. They sit in the cabinet and collect dust as I have been using RevMax HD seals the last few years. No tools required but you better clean the spindle way back towards the axle better than you ever have and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS on the RevMax seals.
