Re-packing bearings for the first time

[Greg Yother]

The owner's manual on the Scamp website says Grease seal: 10-9 (1.987" OD, 1.5" ID).

But my Scamp is a 1982...would mine have a different size seal, or did they never alter the size after all of these years? Is there an easy way to tell without taking it out first? Just trying to get all the parts before hand.

It is still the same axle, bearing and seal. However, I would suggest using the newer seal designed for the new lube system. It is better, with two lips and a spring retainer.

Here's an extract from a PDF (Lots of stuf to download at the DexterAxle site):
