What It Helps Address

• Gear oil or axle lubricant seepage at the wheel end
• Contamination entering the hub or axle sealing area
• Seal wear from age, heat, or road exposure
• Noise or service issues related to low lubricant retention
• Repeat repairs caused by an incorrect seal size

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface before installation. Measure the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width to confirm the SKF 16062 matches the original seal specification. Inspect the mating surface for scoring or corrosion, since surface damage can shorten seal life. Proper alignment during installation helps prevent distortion of the nitrile sealing lip.
