Hi Jerry,

So we don't have any seals or bearings with the measurement you provided, and bearings and seals do require a really precise measurement with a digital caliper. I know that's a pain but it really is the only way to get the right replacements.

Or you can also try and take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you may be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle where the bearings ride, like in the photo I added.

For example, if you have a 3,500 lb axle your bearings are L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) and L68149 (1.378" inner diameter), and seal with a 1.719" inner diameter you would use the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and AL-KO Axles - 3,500 lb with #84 Spindle # BK2-100.

I have added a link below to our entire selection of bearing kits, bearings, and seals for you once you find this info, or you can comment down below what the bearing numbers or dimensions are and I can see what we have for you.
