First for extra cotter pins you will need the # 165649 which is what the # BK2-100 uses.

I tried to cross reference the 680387 but it did not reference to any of the grease seals. The # BK2-100 includes a grease seal that has an I.D. of 1.719" and an O.D. of 2.565". You will need to use digital calipers like # PTW80157 to measure the spindle and hub of your Airstream to confirm which size grease seal you will need.

If you find you need a different size grease seal just let me know.

Lastly for grease I highly recommend the Prime Guard Wheel Bearing Hi-Temp Red Grease # L11380 due to it being resistant to high height which is perfect for wheel bearings.

I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
