Grease seals for Dexter 3500 lb axle?

I have been researching bearings for my 195RB. It has a Dexter 3500 lb axle with standard bearing sets. It does not have the Never-lube (EZ-Lube?) system. The Dexter web site lists a grease seal only for the Never-lube system. Is there no grease seal needed for the standard set-up?

I looked at the replacement parts list in the Dexter manual that came with my 195RB Baja. For seals they list the same P/N for both Standard and E-Z Lube - K71-303-00. This is the one that I've been using on my 195RB although I do have the E-Z Lube spindles:

10-19 Redneck Trailer Douple Lip Grease Seal E-Z Lube 3,500 LB - Drivetrain America

I appreciate the help. It looks like the prices are very reasonable.

The prices for seals are very reasonable. If you have one, take it off and bring it to a bearing house. They all can measure them and give you a replacement. Better yet, call Jayco and ask them for a copy of the manual for the axles. You and get your axle number off the axle, look in the manual, and then confirm with Dexter that you are ordering the right seal.

My Dexter manual shows the same seal numbers for either standard or EZ-Lube axle. BTW, I buy my seals from the following company. They are Dexter and less money and less costly for shipping.

I just removed one, made sure, when I punched it out I did not damage the writing. Brought it to the auto parts store, and they cross referenced it.

I ordered from Drivetrain America. Seals were 1.42, bearing sets (breaing and cone) were 7.75and 7.23 each. Shipping was something like 10.00. Not a bad deal really. I am nowhere near a parts store.
