Perfect double lip oil seals & extra V - seals

[bobassel]

Hello

A tip for you all;
I use , to keep the water out of my GPA bearings & diferential,
special double lip oil seals from "EBELE".
Type; NE 8378. size; 53.98 x 73.04 x9.52 RP.

As extra seal I use V-rings.
S.K.F. ; V-55 A.

Succes! (At my GPA hardly a drop comes in)

Greetings;Bob Asselbergs

As an extra for the front axle I use this extra set.
It is a modern CJ 5 knuckle set which is better than the original ones!
South African Owner Eugen Nick used it in (now) my GPA!
The Ex -Mexican GPA of Peter Verhoeven was fitted with
the same seals!
In combination with the dubble lip seals and V-seals it is a
perfect way to keep the water out of your front axle.
The number is ; 908226 for two wheels.

Dear Bob

Thanks for your posts on oil seals. Would you by chance have a list of recommandation for all oil seals of the GPA (modern references like for SKF seen on two posts).

Thanks

There are here in Holland several adresses were this problem can be solved.
You must have the original bearing or seal and take this to this shop or adres.
I 'm sure there is a sollution for your problem.

Thanks Bob

I did it here for my GPA, I took it to a shop where they adapt metric seals to the GPA parts.

Again, thanks a lot for the amazing job of putting the list together.

Cheers
