Product Description
The 68-1178 is a rubber bearing dust seal for aircraft wheel and brake assemblies. This seal mounts at the outboard wheel bearing to exclude contaminants and retain grease during flight and ground operations. Commonly used in Cessna and Textron aircraft wheel maintenance, the seal prevents moisture and debris ingress that can compromise bearing performance.
Installation requires removal during wheel service and replacement per the aircraft maintenance manual or component overhaul instructions. Proper seating ensures effective contamination exclusion and extends bearing life.
