[QUOTE="KingDarius, post: 253671, member: 7681"] [b]PROBLEM SOLVED (i hope...)[/b] I went to a different NAPA. Spoke to another guy who was helppful as all get out. Found a seal - 12165 with an ID of 1.219. Its a tight fit, but it seems to be the one. Thank you everyone so much. Such an ordeal I am glad its finally over. [b]Lessons learned:[/b] 1. There should be no gap between the seal seat and the seal. 2. No water should be getting into the hubs. And no grease should be spraying about. 3. There is a seal for even weird diameters. 4. The internet, while useful, is exceptionally frustrating to find "hard to find" parts. 5. If one NAPA tells you they cant find your seal without a number, try another NAPA. Dont bother with Autozone as I went to two of them and they didnt/couldnt help. Thanks again you guys. Youre help kept me sane and I learned alot. Time to hit the water. Cheers!!! [/QUOTE]
