The Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60001 is specifically designed to fit on your 1" straight spindle using a Bearing # L44643 and 1.980 Bearing Buddy like Set # BB1980A-SS. The seal set includes 2 smooth stainless steel rings, 2 O-rings and 2 grease seals for both hubs of your axle.

It sounds like the remains of a double lip seal. Was it like a rubber o-ring with a metal spring around it? You are going to have to replace the seal so I would just disregard the sleeve. It would go on the outside of the rubber lip though. I…
