We offer a tool for installing bearings, races and seals, kit # PTW83020 from Performance Tool. This is intended for installing these items but it could also work to get them out of your hubs. Sometimes mechanics will use a socket or piece of pipe sizes to the hub bore for removing old races, bearings and seals. Please refer to the linked video.

We also offer dust cap driver tools, shown on the linked page. These are used for installing grease caps/dust caps like # F001503.

The difference between the ID of the seal and the diameter of the seal riding surface on your spindle, although a VERY small amount, is large enough so the seal will not be compatible. This assumes that the 1.87 inch diameter of the spindle you had…
