Question:

I cant find this size anywhere. Seals I found have 2.565inch OD which is too much to press fit into the 2.550 inch Bore in the hub. My spindle dias. are 1.060inch and 1.375inch and the seal race is 1.725inch dia. Am I off on my press fit amount?

Expert Reply:

If the inner diameter bearing on your spindle measures 1.38" and the outer diameter bearing measures to be 1.06", then you have a #84 spindle such as part # TRU24FR rated for 3,500 lb. trailer axles. The correct grease seals for this spindle are Grease Seal - Double Lip part # 58846 which has an inner diameter of 1.719" and an outer diameter of 2.565". As the grease seals are a very tight fit, you may want to use a block of wood and mallet to get the seals to seat properly.
Attached is a video guide that will show this process being done.

If you need bearings, races, and seals you will want the Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle part # BK2-100.
