I have wallace hubs on my coach and a cv boot ripped and when I pulled the axel the seal in the hub is torn. I don't have any part #s and have not pulled the seal out of hub. Does anyone have any info?
Thanks,

Larry, I am sure you have looked real hard for any id on the seal. If nothing, I would take to NAPA and try to find one to match. I am sure someone here knows what you need.
Does it resemble the stock seal at all?

To be truthful I just crawled out from under coach after I got the axel out in the dark. I did not pull the seal so it might have a number. I was discouraged because I decided to do some front end rebuild maybe new offset A arms, ball joints, etc. and when I took upper ball joint loose the knuckle dropped and pulled on the axel and the inner 3 ball joint came apart dropping little needle bearings and 2 balls on the driveway. SO I quit before I broke anything else. Shouldn't do things when tired, its dark and in a hurry. I wanted to ask the forum incase I can't find a number.

Larry,
Without knowing any details of the Wallace hubs, I suspect you may have
better luck at Bearings and Drives or another large industrial bearing
supply house than at NAPA.

Larry,
In case you're wondering the inner CV joint has 50 needles in each one of
the balls.
Guess how I know! ;-)

Rob,
I REALLY hate to be the one to break this news to you, but you need to know:
You're missing some needles. :-(
Page 3B10 of manual X7575 is very specific in two places about there being
53 (FIFTY-THREE) needles in each of the inner CV balls. 50 just didn't
match my faint memory so I checked.
Hope that doesn't cause you too much sleep loss before you get them out to
inspect.

it's just a guess but since the seal is running on the same cv joint as the OEM hub i would think it uses the same seal.

Ken,
Thanks for correcting me, I was going to double check the number in the
parts manual but I was SURE it was 50!
I am sure that when I re-greased the inner CV they were all there because I
remember what a PITA it was to get the last couple in.
I will admit that this message clearly demonstrates I am missing a few
marbles, however! ;-)

Larry;
I have had Wallace hubs for 20 years and have replaced the front seals a few
times.
They are the same as the original seals.
