Leaking front hubs and replace the disks

[jvojtanic]

I am told I need to replace the front brake disks on 94 american eagle with spartan chassis because of leaking seals on the hubs. anyone have a idea what the disks cost and repair?

Just call Spartan with the last 6 #s of your vin.

I had seals and bearings go on mine and dumped oil... but the tech was able to clean up the rotors so I avoided that cost... Seems to be working fine.

Not sure if that is always an option?

That is the interior seals leaking. Any competent HDT repair shop has the parts to do a complete brake job and replace the oil seals in the wet-hub. Phone around and locate such a shop, then inquire about costs.
Afterthought; I didn't think Spartan used disc brakes on their chassis that far back. Mine has all drum brakes.

sure they are the drum .

You have Disk Brakes on a 94 Eagle ? I don't think so !
Tell us what you have !

Disk or drum, oil on them can be cleaned off with a steam cleaner or hot water pressure washer.

They do need to be removed to change the seal but they don't need to be replaced, unless they are bad for other reasons.

they are drum

I thought it was a good idea to go to an authorized spartan shop to get the work done. Bad idea. Estimate came out to 12.813.87. included with 6 tires at a charge of 3,571.91 cents that they outsource. I paid they 330 yesterday for 3 hours on the estimate. and will pick up the rig Monday to get it back. Another lesson learned. This was for chassis work changing oil,filters in the 8.3 cummins and onan genset. I live in Harlingen, Texas so not that many HDT repair here. Thanks for all that replied to my post.
