Expert Reply:

If your hub uses the # L44649 outer bearing and the # L68149 inner bearing, then the Grease Seal # RG06-050 that you mentioned is indeed the most common seal used for this type of spindle, but it's possible your particular hubs use a different size.

The closest grease seal we have available to the 2-1/4 inch outer diameter you mentioned is with the Grease Seal # 10-42. This seal has an outer diameter of 2.33 inches and an inner diameter of 1.75 inches. You can compare these dimensions to your existing seal to see if this matches.

Otherwise, I recommend verifying your measurements using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 since they need to be so exact. The above mentioned bearings and seal are not available in a single kit, but they can simply be obtained as separate items. I have also attached a link that will take you to our available selection of grease seals that you can look through.
