T@B 2021 400 wheel bearing repacking question

Jake_Elwood_and_us

I pulled one of my drums off today hoping for an easy repack of the bearings, not so. I need to replace the inner seal as it needs to be removed to access the inner bearing and be replaced when reinstalling. I have scoured the Tab forum for information and have not found the answer. I don't even know for sure which axle I have. Nucamp did not have an answer but might get back to me. The only info which came with the trailer when bought was a simple card saying -go online. The online link states that the model number is listed on the axle mid way which is, of course, buried under a shield which I do not want to remove. I think it is the 4400 lb. rated capacity one. Finding the correct seal online has been a chore and I'm not sure if the one I might order would be the correct one.

I'm hoping someone who reads this has done this themselves and has the information. Thanks in advance.

I believe the 400 Boondock axle is the same for all the 400 years models. Here is the info from my 2019 400 BD. I am about to do my second bearing inspection and service. You likely do not need new bearings, but you will need a rear seal.

We have the 3500 lb Dexter axle.

The Dexter manual is for all their axles is also attached as it specifies the procedure.

I found the rear seals at NAPA locally for about 6.50 per seal. Dexter number was 010-019-00.

I just looked at the specs from my attachment and it shows 4K axle so I retract the 3500 lb above.

Thanks qhumberd, I did finally find that same number on the rubber part of the seal. I needed strong reading glasses and a magnifying glass to be able to read it. I was able to find the same on Amazon. Since I want to finish this asap I'll call the auto supply house nearby, not sure if it's a Napa store. Hopefully they will have it in stock.

I have a 2021 400 Boondock and this is the seal I used: https://a.co/d/994o1zO

Any farm supply store, like Tractor Supply, Atwood's, etc. will have Dexter parts. I buy seals at O'Reilly's Auto. You just need the weight rating of the axle.
