Front hub seal size or part number

[benebob]

While working on my brakes I noticed a bit of play in the front wheel. Traced it to a bad outter bearing. Bearings are easily sourced locally but I don't have a part number or size for the seal for the inner bearing. Anybody know what I need? I'll owe ya a beer!

Not sure of the part numbers, but my last one went when I was about to catch the ferry at dover. I bought a kit from Partco for a Mk2 Granada, which had the full set for the hub.

Thanks but sadly we had a much different Granada here. Will see if I can use that to come up with a part number or just take the old one in with me.

Seal size 40-55-8

Over here we'd visit an industrial bearing supplier and quote the inner, outer and width dimensions as you've given.

Yeah that's what I did too but posted so that anybody who does a search can pick up what they need before they get started. Of course there isn't any 40-55-8s available in any of the books here. Closest was a 40-55-6. Any thoughts. I'd think it should work fine.
