Based on the measurements you gave me it sounds like Grease Seal # 168233 that you referenced is the one you need. It's a double lip grease seal that has an Inner diameter of 1.688" and an Outer diameter of 2.332". The # 010-180-00 seal is another seal with an inner diameter of 1.68" and an outer diameter of 2.33" and also is a double lip seal.

I know they are not the exact measurements you gave, but that is the closest size seal that we carry. That's also why it's important to measure the hub and spindle using a caliper like # PTW80157 for accurate measurements.

I linked the parts above, and included a diagram of where to measure the seal and spindle.

Looking for an axle grease seal. 2.5” outside 1.934 axle diameter 0.468 thickness Can you help?

I know you just a computer but you got it all wrong. I asked for a 2 1/2 inch outside diameter and a 1.934 inch inside diameter obviously something close to those numbers.

@LeeM Closest option we have would be the part # BB60009 which matches everything but it comes with a couple additional parts.

@LeeM I'm actually not a computer but the seal I mentioned has an outside diameter of 2.5 inches like you need and an inner diameter of 1.875 inch. The inner portion of the seal is rubber and can stretch so it should work but either way it's closest option we have. What axle capacity do you have by chance?
