The elusive F15A FRONT Grease seal

[sth65pac]

OK SO:

That stupid Spreadsheet in MLU IS incorrect as the seals in the description are reversed:

Seal SKF 49998 is ID=5.0 OD=6.25 Width is 0.5 - This is the correct part number for the F15A Brake Drum Grease seal.

The Seal SKF 45150 is for INSIDE the Diff. ID=4.5 OD=6.25 WIDTH=0.5

SO BEFORE YOU SPEND $52AUD ON THE WRONG SEALS which is the SKF45150, -this is the INNER SEAL IN THE DIFF.

Use the SKF 49998 which is the correct seal.

My Auto shop charges in gold bars so its a short 50 minute drive to Wollongong. Thankfully it is one of the largest coal mining cities in Australia and there are several good bearing and seal suppliers.

Lugging a 200KG Differential up in my pickup isnt impossible, but it is inconvenient.

I am not the person to measure things with a vernier, and i have never trusted myself (even been trained formally in using a vernier & micrometer)

I don't like the idea of buy twice 'cause you got it wrong the first time.
I have a collection of VW parts like that.

Cheers,
