Seal wheel-bearing lubricant in and lock road grime out with the Timken Wheel Seal 8676S, a rear outer grease/oil seal that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1947-1951 Frazer Manhattan; the 1959-1966 Jeep CJ3; the 1959-1971 Jeep CJ5 and CJ6; the 1966-1971 Jeep Jeepster; and the Jeep Wagoneer in both 1963-1967 and 1971-1973 (all engines). It rides at the rear outer spindle, retaining grease or oil at the wheel bearing while excluding contaminants.
- Precision sealing design: built to hold lubricant in and keep harmful contaminants from entering.
- Reinforced outer case: helps resist installation damage and adds durability.
- Ribbed rubber inner diameter: designed to seal minor spindle imperfections and promote positive spindle seating.
- Internal contamination exclusion system: helps block debris penetration that may otherwise lead to leakage.
- Vent holes: let lubricant flow freely around the seal lip, cooling the seal components and carrying away heat build-up.
Signs this seal may need replacing include grease or oil weeping at the hub and contamination reaching the wheel bearing. The listed applications use two seals, so order accordingly; replace both sides together for balanced service.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 8676S.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this seal do?
It is a rear outer grease/oil wheel seal. It keeps wheel-bearing lubricant (grease or oil) contained while blocking dirt, water, and debris from reaching the bearing.
Which vehicles does the 8676S fit?
It fits the 1947-1951 Frazer Manhattan; 1959-1966 Jeep CJ3; 1959-1971 Jeep CJ5 and CJ6; 1966-1971 Jeep Jeepster; and the Jeep Wagoneer in 1963-1967 and 1971-1973. See the Buyer's Guide tab.
How many seals do I need?
The listed applications use two seals. Order the quantity your vehicle requires, and it's best practice to replace both sides together for even service.
How is it installed?
It is a press-fit seal driven into the seat over the spindle; the ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seat it and seal minor spindle imperfections. Follow the vehicle service procedure.
What are signs this seal is failing?
Look for grease or oil weeping around the hub and contamination or moisture reaching the wheel bearing. If a leaking seal is the cause, replacing it with the 8676S addresses it.
