SKF has been a leader in seal design and development since it invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928. The company has continued to pioneer new designs and bonding techniques since then. SKF makes its seals to specific designs using premium materials, chosen to suit both the application and its environment. SKF seals have been on the road for more than a hundred years, keeping lubricants in and contaminants out.
Signs that a wheel seal may need replacing include lubricant seeping at the hub, a wet or grimy area behind the wheel, and dirt or water contamination found during bearing service. If a worn or damaged seal is the cause, the 18866 replaces it. Inspect the bearing and the sealing surface while the hub is apart.
