Kodiac Disc Brake Kit Compatibility with UFP DB-42 Axle

Question

Question:

Will this fit a ufp db-42 axle? The seals seem to have different diameters but can I order this seal 168255TB to replace the one this comes with and make it work? Thanks.

The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet- 3,500 lbs # K2HR35D may fit your UFP DB-42 axle. I don't have the specs on that axle to confirm, however if your spindle has an inner bearing diameter of 1.378 inches and outer bearing of 1.063 inches it will work. This comes with a seal that is 1.719 inches inside diameter and 2.565 inches outer diameter.

The seal you mention does not fit perfectly, but is really close. You will need to measure your spindle with a caliper like # PTW80157 to determine proper fit. I've attached a photo to assist.
