SKF 28759XT Wheel Seal - Front Inner

SKF Scotseal Plus XL Front Wheel Seal

The SKF Scotseal Plus XL front wheel seal is built for demanding driveline service where heat, lubricant compatibility, and contamination control matter. Part number 28759XT uses an HNBR sealing material and a Duratemp sealing surface to support stable performance in frequent braking and high-temperature operation.

For front wheel seal replacement on heavy-duty applications, 28759XT is designed to maintain lubricant retention while helping keep road debris, water, and other contaminants out. It is a practical choice for service work on vehicles such as Freightliner and International models that require a front wheel seal with precise shaft and housing dimensions.

Product Details

SKF’s Scotseal Plus XL line focuses on long service life in wheel-end applications. This seal uses hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber to handle elevated temperatures and frequent braking cycles, while its footprint is shaped for stable hand installation on the shaft. The 28759XT is engineered for front wheel use where sealing consistency and contaminant exclusion are critical. This part cross-references 441260C91 and CHR 28759 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel-end lubricant leakage
• Contamination from dirt, water, and road debris
• Heat-related seal wear in frequent braking service
• Seal instability on the shaft during installation
• Premature front wheel seal replacement intervals

Installation Notes

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm proper wheel-end fitment. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the hub and shaft for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing the seal into place. Use standard wheel-end service procedures for the specific Freightliner or International application, and confirm the seal seats evenly without distortion.

Quality Assurance

SKF has supplied sealing products for wheel-end service for more than a century, and its seals are tested to meet or exceed performance requirements for durability and contaminant exclusion. Part number 28759XT is part of the Scotseal Plus XL line, which is built for extended service life in demanding front wheel applications.
