Alright so i am trying to fix my damn 1954 Ford Customline, and put new wheel seals in, and the wheel seals i took out have only a ford logo and a Made in USA stamped in, but no part number. now i went to NAPA auto parts and ordered a US spec seal which is Wheel Seal I.D. : 1.938" Wheel Seal O.D. : 2.506" US made Canada made Wheel Seal I.D. : 1.688" Wheel Seal O.D. : 2.627" the outer diameter on the US made one was correct, but inner diameter wasn't it was too wide the Canadian spec seal was correct on the inside, but too narrow on the outside
There should be a listing for seals by dimensions..........if not application........you should be able to find what you need in that list. Ray
There should be a part number on the old seal.......I have had to beadblast old seals to find the part number.......Ford used a lot of part numbes for the same seal, UNLESS you have some other year, make spindles.......
there is no part number, they look like factory stock metal seals, with the ford logo in them and thats it. they aren't in horrible shape, bead blasting wouldnt help. there is no evidence of a part number anywhere, how do i find out if i might have different spindles? what would tell me? i mean this car is like all original. i would find it to be VERY strange if it had some different spindles.
i don't think those national part numbers are going to help me at all, since i have none to begin with...
I was not going by the part number, I referenced the chart and used your sizes to come up with those seal numbers.
What does your ID and OD measure? Take that measurement and buy whatever fits that... Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Canadian 1954 Fords still had flathead engines and king pins. That is the reason I am sure, that the seals are different.
pg409 if that's true that helps a TON! the outer diameter of the seal is 2.5 inner is roughly 1 and 15/16ths now how come the seal from napa part number 19221 didn't fit over the spindle? the inner diameter was too wide. it comes up when you search wheel seal for 1954 ford Wheel Seal I.D. : 1.938" Wheel Seal O.D. : 2.506" maybe the manufacturer of the NAPA wheel seal has the fitment specs off? i ordered 2 wheel seals from MACS ford parts, I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope and pray they fit!!!!!
Give members rustyfords or HOT ROD PRIMER a pm, I think a solution was posted on 1954ford.com maybe they will share if they see this.
i cant find their accounts on here, rustyford's account says its banned and i tried registering on 54 ford site and im still waiting for my account to activate. maybe shoot them a PM about my post for me if you would be so kind, that would be great!
okay the PDF you sent me does nothing for me, its got almost 400 pages. takes forvever to load. sorry, I don't have time to mess with that. yeah and I tried those part numbers you gave me but where the hell do i order them from? what are they? tried google for those Timken numbers i got nothing, doesn't help my case a bit. where exactly do you expect me to go to find those part numbers?
http://c2c.activant.com/ctoc/index.jsp?ID=bBS16GCw.CU54OzN_CUdEM2xFX1A6BlIOVngf 30 seconds on google, tons of hits for that size this is just one of many. Measure what you have, go to the parts store and POLITElY tell them you need a wheel seal with so and so specs, but it and install it... Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Alright I've got another question, how close we're the factory tolerances for these seals when they went onto the hub? Anybody have a picture of a 1954 ford hub?
