Coleman axle seals

[Handclutch]

Are the grease seals a standard part that might be available from bearing shops, or unique to Coleman? Mine are in reasonable shape but appear to have been installed with the lip facing the wrong way. I don’t want to risk removing them unless I know I can get replacements.

Special sized seals exist but are not that common. I used to run a parts crib in a defense plant and had to identify the correct size seal with nothing but the destroyed one to work with. Need to know the bore size the seal presses into (seal will be slightly larger for press fit), the shaft size it seals against, and the seal width. FYI, many seals are dual-lip with the outer lip facing out and the inner lip facing inward. Might that be what you have? I can identify a seal if you can come up with the measurements.

These are different animal. They stretch and drop into a groove, not the normal press in fit. Single lip and quite narrow for the overall diameter. I haven't come across anything like them before.

Doesn't sound familiar, sorry.
