Question:

I need help with the inner grease seal for my boat trailer. The inner bearing is a L68149 with a L68110 race. Can yo recommend a seal with that info? Thank you

When the L68149 bearing is paired with the L68111 race, the 10-19 grease seal is used. However when the same bearing is used with the L68110 race on a boat trailer, the # 168233 seal is usually used.

You can verify this by using a digital caliper to measure the hub bore (inside diameter) where the seal would sit and the surface of the spindle where the inside diameter of the seal would ride. The hub bore should measure 2.332 inches and the surface of the spindle that the seal would spin against should measure 1.688 inches (or very close). This measurement needs to be highly accurate, so a digital caliper should be used.
