Inner wheel seal

[Pghdave]

Would anyone have a cross number for rear inner wheel seal?
Thanks Dave

I don't have the part number, but be aware that new seals must be installed slightly proud of the hub so as to not interfere with the bearing race. Dave Lenzi makes an installation jig for this.
And FYI, follow the motorhome Service Manual procedures to set the rear bearing pre-load properly to prevent bearing failure.
See here:

Diagram of the rear hub showing how the seal must be installed slightly proud of the hub. The housing of the new seals is deeper and curves slightly inwards such that they could rub on the inner bearing race. Also proper procedure for...

Not my photo, just stored for reference. I believe the rear inner seals are Timken 8974S

Almost here
Our RV is in Pittsburgh they said they will not be dropping off until tomorrow.
Was excited but I guess one more day won’t kill me so tomorrow will post some pictures and be asking a lot more questions.

Dave,
When you get into it, be real afraid of asking dumb questions. If, in the unlikely circumstance, you should happen to come up with a question that is dumber than the current record holder that recorder might feel displaced. Some of us have decades of dumb questions and stupid moves to our credit.
Did you get the owner's and maintenance manuals in the package??
If not, all of that stuff can be downloaded at GMCMI. Get very familiar with it, but you won't find everything you need without a native guide. We don't mind at all.
We have been running a 73 for 17 seasons, I may have specific recommendations.
Matt

Yes we do have all the manuals that is how I was able to find parts for wheels.
Thank you looking forwards to tearing into it.
