Stopping Oil Leaks and Protecting Wheel Bearings Roadside
Noticing oily residue sprayed across your tractor's rear dual wheels or trailer hub is an urgent red flag. When a wheel seal fails, hot hypoid gear oil washes out wheel bearing grease and contaminates brake shoes, causing brake fade and potential spindle lockups. RoadRunner Road Services responds with the heavy axle jacks, hub pullers, and seal drivers needed to rebuild wheel ends roadside.
We clean and inspect inner and outer wheel bearings, evaluate spindle journals for heat damage, drive precision National or Stemco wheel seals into place, and set proper bearing preload using dial indicator tolerances.
