Troubleshooting Dico 45263 Replacement Bearings, Race, Seal

Question:

Need to replace seals, bearings and race etc.. seen where you previously answered pretty much the same question and gave bearing number #L4469 and L68149 with a seal #168255TB. Q I have is the seal I removed has the number #470050 does this sound right? And this trailer has a straight shaft so I guess I would need #L4469 for both inner and outer bearings? #L4469 is on outer bearing but cant read the inner bearing part number but they appear to be both the same size... thanks for any help you can give on this..

The 470050 is an oil seal that is 1.281 x 1.983 x 0.437 inches. The outer diameter is a common size but the inner diameter is not. We unfortunately do not have anything to fit your seal.

I recommend checking your spindles using a digital caliper like # PTW80157. You will need to measure at the bearing locations as well as the seal location. If your spindle locations at the bearings are a common size, I can most likely find you a replacement assembly, but you may need to swap the seal for the 470050 that we don't carry.

I've attached a photo to assist with the measurements needed.
