Inner Diameter of Steel Ring in Bearing Buddy Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60005

Question

Question:

You sell a part #BB60005 which is a spindle grease seal kit. Ive seen the question I want the answer to asked before, but not really answered. Specifically, I want to know if the steel sleeve inside diameter is 1.5 inch . I know the outside is 1.375 since that is where the seal rides and I.D. of sleeve is 1.375. You would sell a lot more of these if this question was answered and/or you listed it I.D. of sleeve in description rather than just I.D of seal which is O.D. of sleeve. Thanks

The stainless steel seal ring that is included in the Bearing Buddy Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60005 referenced in your question has an inner diameter of 1.065 inches and outer diameter of 1.375 inches.

This kit is designed to work on spindles with the # L44649 inner bearing and Bearing Buddy models with 1.980 inch hub bores. I have also attached a short video demonstration on this kit so you can see exactly how it installs.

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…
