Grease seals are a very specific fit and not something we can get a good read on with a tape measure. You will instead need to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the spindle at that seal location and then the outer diameter of the seal where it fits the hub. When you have both the inner and outer diameter of the seal two points to the right of the decimal then we can help you with the correct replacement.

I've linked the page to all the replacement options we carry to assist as well as a video to help.
