TAG AXLE OIL SEAL & BEARING

Good morning.

Does anyone know or know how to get the part numbers for the tag axle oil seal & bearing?
I have 2009 Nimbus and have developed hub oil leak on right tag.  Leaks while just sitting.
Am going to try to get fixed at local truck repair place but would like to have part numbers.
Tried FOT parts but they haven't replied yet.
Don't have anything in manuals. Has Bendix brakes
Thanks

Craig, I don't know if the tag axle is different or not, but Transwest replaced my rear wheel seal in April. The seal is a Meritor A1205J2272 wheel seal $116.37 and Drive axle gasket Stemco 330-3036 for $2.00. They charged me $365 labor. Then there was the ususal taxes, shop supplies, etc. Totaled $536.

The tag axle is going to be similar to a front wheel axle. The seals should be common to most truck repair facilities. Trying to get the parts ahead of time needs Foretravel to help you.

Keep in mind the question is regarding a 2009 Nimbus, which may or may not have the same axle seals as your 1996 coach.

Craig, are you talking about a leak at the hub cover where you check the oil, on the inside

The leak is on the inside and drips on floor. Have to get behind wheels and look at  left side of tag on floor. Does not drip in tire.

Sounds like an inner seal
