You will need to remove your hub, remove the seal and get the bearing numbers and seal numbers from what you have right now and then you will be able to pick out the correct bearing kit.

I have attached a picture that shows bearings, races, and seals where you can see the numbers stamped on them, as well as see the dimensions needed for seal replacement. I also attached a video on bearing inspection and replacement for you to check out.

Once you know what you have check out the link I provided that shows all of the bearing kits we offer.
