Part # L68111 refers to a race that matches up with bearing # L68149. The inner grease seal that fits with these parts is # RG06-050, which is a pair of double-lip grease seals. These seals have an outer diameter of 2.565-inches (that fits within the hub bore) and an inner diameter of 1.719-inches (that fits on the spindle).

A common dimension is 1.980-inches and in this size you can choose an item like the non-threaded stainless-steel # BB1980A-SS. If you do use Bearing Buddies you'll want to also use the matching inner grease seals like # BB60002 that will reduce grease leakage and last longer than standard seals.

Bearing Buddy bearing protectors can be selected based on the outer bore of your hubs and whether or not they are threaded. The linked page will let you see all sizes of Bearing Buddy bearing protectors. To select the ones that are right for your hubs you'll want to take a precise measurement of the hub's bore using a caliper like # PTW80157. You'll also want to note if the bore of the hub has threads or is smooth. Once you know these bits of information you can use the linked page to find suitable parts. Just click on the outer diameter that matches your hub bore and choose threaded or non-threaded.

We also offer a grease gun # PTW54290 and grease cartridge # L11390 for filling the Bearing Buddies with grease and if you want to pack them with grease first you can use bearing packer # L70025.
