How to Measure for Replacement Grease Seals on Trailer Axle

I have a 1991 Coleman Columbia pop-up, body style TE. ID measures about 1 5/16, OD measures 1 15/16. What part number do I need for replacement.

We don't have anything that meets your measurements and they just don't seem correct. I recommend using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to very specifically measure the seal diameter on the spindle location. I've attached a photo to assist.
Then you can remove the seal from the hub and measure the inside of the hub at the grease seal location to get the outer diameter needed. The precision is important because this keeps the bearings lubricated and in working order.
