SKF HD Front Wheel Seal Kit with spacers for KTM FREERIDE 250, FREERIDE 350, SX 85, HUSQVARNA TC 85 and GAS GAS MC 85 2012-2027

On KTM FREERIDE 250, FREERIDE 350, SX 85, HUSQVARNA TC 85 and GAS GAS MC 85 from 2012 to 2027, the SKF VKWB-F-25-HDS-C wheel seal kit fits in place of the original part. Small but essential, hub seals are the only barrier between your wheel bearings and the mud. Changing them regularly costs far less than ruined bearings and a damaged hub.

Key features

• HD (heavy duty) version, designed for severe off-road use and frequent pressure washing.
• Low-friction seals with a built-in deflector that stands up to the pressure washer; hard-anodised spacers.

Specifications

• Brand: SKF
• Manufacturer part number: VKWB-F-25-HDS-C
• EAN code: 7316582096724
• Contents: seals and spacers
• Weight: 210 g

When to replace it?

• Lip hardened, split or coming away, seal moving in its housing.
• Water or mud inside the hub when you take the wheel out.
• Wheel bearings that are rusty or quickly develop play.

Replace the seals every time you change the bearings, and as soon as they are damaged. In motocross and enduro in the mud, check them every time the wheel comes out.

Fitting tips

1. Remove the wheel and side spacers, then lever under the seal with a screwdriver with a protected tip, without marking the hub.
2. Clean the housing and check the spacer: a scored or rusty sealing surface wears out the new lip.
3. Pack the lip with waterproof grease and press the seal in perfectly flat, flush with the hub, using a socket of the same diameter.
4. Refit the spacers and the wheel, then torque the axle to the figure in the manual.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to change the bearings at the same time?
Only if the wheel has play or a bearing turns with tight spots: in that case, change the wheel bearings. Otherwise, new seals are enough to protect healthy bearings.

Does the kit cover one wheel or two?
The contents (front or rear wheel) are given in the product name and specifications.
