The elusive F15A FRONT Grease seal

[sth65pac]

Ahh Yes, what I suspected but wasn't sure. Thankyou.

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,

Ian

Part number: *C01Q-1190-B
Part name: Seal - front axle hub grease leather oil seal
cross references to SKF 45150: http://www.skfextranet.com/catalogs/...il.asp?s=45150 which is a modern Nitrile seal.

To make sure, remove the old seal and check the following measurements:
OD: 6.25"/ 159,8 mm
ID: 4.5"/ 120 mm
If your old seal measures up to this, contact your nearest auto parts center and order SKF 45150. If they don't stock SKF they will be able to cross reference it to another brand.

HTH,
Hanno


PS: SKF took over Chicago Rawhide many years ago, but are now rebranding them again as CR Seals - meanwhile the part numbers stayed the same, so CR 45150 = SKF 45150.
