Hey James,
Can you doublecheck the measurements of your spindle at points B, C, and D from the diagram below with a caliper # PTW80157? If the spindle is tapered the inner and outer bearings should be different. The only grease seal that matches your dimensions is the # 168255TB which isn't a fit for the idler hubs we carry with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern.
If you find the measurements differ then I can keep looking for a fit. If not you'd be looking at a complete replacement for the axle to get a more common spindle that would mate with a newer hub.
