After doing some research I was not able to locate a grease seal with a 1.500 inch inner diameter and a 2.500 inch outer diameter. I spoke with my grease seal supplier and they do not carry a grease seal with those dimensions either.

If you are measuring the grease seal itself, I would recommend measuring the hub and spindle. Sometimes the rubber of the grease seal and the outer ring can become deformed or damaged. I also recommend using a precise measuring tool such as a dial caliper. I have attached a photo showing where to take the measurements on the hub and spindle.
