John HD, my bearing seals came from Henschen when I picked up the axles. Didn't see any numbers on them, but I'll check again. They had the blue sealant on the outside edges, with the spring loaded seal.

53FlyingCloud, I thought this would get more attention posting this way as another gentleman was interested in the numbers also. There is a great article on brake service and wheel bearing repacking in this months Trailer Life magazine.

80-90 ft/lbs. It doesn't take very long to repack the wheel bearings and is a fairly simple diy job. I like to do it just so I can look at my brakes and see just what is going on inside my wheels. I have never had a wheel bearing problem, I look at them each winter just before pulling to Florida from North Carolina. I have found broken springs on the brakes. I just feel better doing the inspection myself. It's also a good time to look at tire wear and sidewall condition. I like to replace my tires on a 5 year cycle.
