Correct grease seals

I am trying to determine the proper grease seals for my 2021 21C. Dexter tells me they need the the information from the "axle tag". The axles are covered in foam insulation and paint spatter, and I have yet to find this elusive tag in two visits to the trailer. Dexter said that in lieu of that tag, the number is also on the hub. On the brake drum I found a white tag, but the print has faded away.



ETI tells me they get these Dexter axles from a third party, so they don't know the model number. They did offer this https://www.dexteraxle.com/product/2...-3-2k-3-7k-545 , but this is for an entire bearing set, and I need only the seals.



Thank you in advance!

Thanks, folks.



I also got a reply from Ryan at National Trailer Parts Warehouse, but unfortunately they do not sell to the US. He confirmed that the Dexter part number is 010-019-00, and the dimensions are: I.D. 1.719”, and the O.D. is 2.565”.


I wanted to give them a shout out for quick customer service.
