If you can send me the diameter of the spindle where the grease seal sits and the diameter of the hub where the seal is pressed onto I can verify if we have the correct seal.

Currently I do see we carry 2 hubs which use the Inner Bearing # LM67048 and Outer Bearing # LM11949. First is the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,500-lb Axles # DX22XR which uses the Seal # 168233. This seal has an inner diameter of 1.688" and outer diameter of 2.332". The other hub is an Agricultural Hub # AH15450ECOMP which uses the Seal # SL150. This seal has an inner diameter of 1.5" and outer diameter of 2.332"

@BennieH It appears the Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60008 is going to be the only option we have which will fit your hub/spindle. This seal is a bit different than a traditional grease seal. It has a stainless steel ring which slides onto the spindle which is uses for the seal to sit on rather than the portion of the spindle.

@BudM It seems to work just fine. Thanks. Got it on after Memorial Day.
