181.CR47697
This is a heavy-duty oil wheel seal designed to keep axle lubricant inside the hub and prevent dirt, water, and other contaminants from entering the wheel end. It is a Chicago Rawhide classic style seal, now manufactured by SKF, commonly used on drive axles of Class 8 trucks. Replacement is typically required when the original seal begins to leak, during routine wheel bearing service, or whenever the hub is disassembled. Proper installation ensures long bearing life and protects expensive brake components from oil contamination.
Fits drive axles with 38,000 lb and 46,000 lb ratings across multiple OEMs. Installation requires matching seal to the specific spindle diameter (4.766"). Verify exact dimensional compatibility with your axle manufacturer.
