Last time I needed a seal, I took mine off & went to the local trailer dealer, the one that does farm trailers.  They had them, cheap.  They can do a cross ref by looking at your part #.

 OK Thanks. Sure would like to upgrade that "should" to "will" 

I'm looking for the absolute correct part. If the seals leak, grease contaminates the brakes. 

Does anyone here on the forum service and repack their POD wheel bearings? 

Amazon has them, but...the description doesn't say anything about double lip.  Is this the correct seal? 

Does anybody know who manufactures the seals? Is it AP? 

Does anybody know for sure...are the AP seals used by Lippert? AP Products

Are the part numbers the same in the auto parts stores...I don't want to "eye ball" this one.

I have the Lippert Axle and it calls for grease seal Part # 122087 and Lippert direct wants  $11.00+ to ship a 2.00+ Part. (They don't use USPS)

Does any body have a better source? Can you find them locally?
