The best and easiest way to identify a replacement grease seal (or bearing for that matter) is by the original part's reference number. The linked photo shows the typical appearance and location of these part numbers on seal, bearings, races. It also shows where to measure your spindle if the part number is not available. Note that measuring spindles requires a precision digital caliper to measure to the nearest thousandth of an inch.

I have linked you to an article and a video on the topic of bearings and seals and these should be helpful to you.

If you can find your seal number you can enter it into our search box; if you need to measure your spindles you can use the link provided by selecting the seal inner and outer diameters you need using the filters in the left-hand margin.
