Ok, I need help.
I am currently working on a trailer projects but this one has me stumped. I have done 100's of trailer bearing/cup and seal repacks or replacements. I am working on a boat trailer with tandem 3,500# axles. I pulled all apart and washed it up in the parts washer. The seals that came out are part#168255TB
For those of you who do not know the 168 stands for 1.68" ID and the 255 stands for 2.55" OD.
I gave this part # to the Napa guy and he told me they crossed over to Timken 442251. Well before I went to put it all back together tonight at 8pm I decided to measure them with my digital calipers. The outside diameter is no problem, right at 2.55" but the ID is 1.71".
So the problems is the ID is 1.71" instead of 1.68" making it .03" too large. Do you guys think it will leak or did they cross it over wrong? I called them back and they said this is what it crosses to but my gut tells me its not going to work, just feels too loose.
