Look on the inner lip of the seal, get the part # and have your local auto parts store cross reference the seal.Inspect the spindle for seal cut or grooves where the axle rides,if their are seal cut grooves then you will need a speedy sleeve that slides over the spindle surface where the seal rides..its held on with loctight.. just make sure the seal has a double lip,most seals are made by skf (CR chicago rawhide)or national.

Talking

depends on which seal there using, thieve changed a few times. My 2001 has a special seal,that I couldn't find any were else,I searched all the mfg.Mine has a stainless race/sleeve that the seal rides on.if your on the side of the road if your haven't bought spares you'll have to take off the sleeve and put a regular seal on it. I'm thinking its a double lip seal.I have pictures I just redid all mine brakes and every thing,so I have a spare hub,bearing seals sleeve and brake lines,

Ill did up the picks and see if i have the #'s I think It was Chicago rawhide that was making the seal for Myco.

Do you have the rubber plugs in the dustcap? Mine last for 2 yrs max then are usually dried and split. And this is only from the annual 200 miles beginning and end of boating season towing.

Just don't drive the seals in as deep. New meat.

Speedy sleeve the spindals,they will make a tighter seal,make sure you pack the seals between the 2 lips,this will make the seal last longer,i have 10 yrs on mine and havnt touch them yet!

remember this ,the caliper slider.that slides in a rubber tube in the caliper, the rust will build up on the back side of the rubber that between the rubber sleeve and the calipers housing,see picks,what happen is the caliper Will not side back and forth,so it sticks,it will make the pads wear uneven,crooked,i cleaned it all up ,polished the sliders to chrome finish,stainless? greased it ,seems to be OK so far,it needed all new pads and had the rotors turned,2001 myco

Also on the model 20 actuator has a new designs shock absorber, ya don't get the banging any more.

hope this helps
Rob
