Best thing to do is take some measurements of the bore, the spindle diameter and start looking by size. Try some of the industrial supply places on line. It may not be an automotive seal but might be used in industry.

I did better with Autozone than NAPA for seals.

The problem with a lot of parts houses is "if it ain't in the computer we ain't gots it". They don't know how to use a paper book, if you can find a good parts person most major stores can match a seal. But what can you expect from a society that can't make change without a computerized cash register. I'm starting to sound like a grumpy old man.

But what can you expect from a society that can't make change without a computerized cash register. I'm starting to sound like a grumpy old man. I work part time at a "national parts store chain". Problem is, for the most part, we don't have paper books like years gone by or at least the huge books that took up 12' of counter top because there wasn't a computer. Nobody has taught "the kids" to look parts up that way either (now you got me sounding like a grumpy old man, thanks ) I try my best with what I have to work with. I get paid by the hour so why not spend some time to try to help someone, especially if they come in looking for trailer parts! Bearings for trailers aren't so bad, but seals can be a booger to find.

That is exactly what I'm talking about no one is taught to use a mfg's catalog anymore. If your store doesn't have them back on a shelf it is probably because your mgr/owner doesn't know how to use them either or doesn't care enough about the customer to want you to spend the time looking it up. A computer is programed by someone that doesn't see the need for that old information so it is not included. The same goes for History that is no longer taught in many schools today, people don't want young people to know how or why they got the rights we all enjoy today. The problem with that is it will allow those rights to be taken away much easier. We are becoming a throw away society, i only hope we don't throw away our freedom that many people fought and died to aquire and preserve do to lack of knowledge. The above suggestion to check an industrial bearing supplier is probably best.
