Not sure if you're quoting the right number?
SKF 49998 has sizes Shaft 5" and Bore 6.25": http://www.skfextranet.com/catalogs/...il.asp?s=49998

Will verify with the supplier on Tuesday....... could they be overlooking the 1/4 inch rubber skirt on the inside...?

Will keep you posted.

[Bob Carriere]

The seals they brought in was the wrong size.

DO NOT USE 49998...... 499 stands for 4.99 inches inside diameter...

PROPER PART NUMBER IS 45150..... WHICH MEANS 4.51 inches inside dia.

....and of course they had them in stock and the price is $60.35 CDN plus taxes which comes out to $136.39 for two.

Plus shipping to where ever??????

I am getting confused,

I have a C8A over here, with seals outer dia. 6.25" and inner 5.00" are they a different size then the C15A??
In the manual there are 2 sizes of joints, 5" or 6". with 4 or 6 studs at the steeringlink.
But no 4,5" ???? I can not find them.

Hendrik,

Is the old seal in the C8A the following dimensions: Shaft 5" and Bore 6.25"? If so, then use SKF 49998 http://www.skfextranet.com/catalogs/...il.asp?s=49998

If it measures Shaft 4.5" and Bore 6.25", then use SKF 45150: http://www.skfextranet.com/catalogs/...il.asp?s=45150

You can cross reference any seal via http://www2.chicago-rawhide.com/ > "Seals North America Part Lookup". Punching in Shaft and Bore diameters gives you a list of current seals.

HTH,

Great,
A part number....

but which manufacturer???

In Australia this isn't enough to identify a seal correctly.

Cheers,

The part numbers are Chicago Rawhide (CR) which is also SKF. However, it is more likely you want part number 45150, not 49998.

[Bob Carriere]

The 45150 number provided by Hanno and Rob ARE the correct numbers.......also fits C15a and HUP front axle available from SKF.

Ian, fyi a neoprene seal can replace a leather one.
Measure the bore
Measure the shaft it runs on.
Measure the width of the gap in can fit in.
google "skf 45150" and check the dimensions shown against your numbers.
Go to your seal supplier with the number.
spend the money.
