Rear wheel seal diameter. Which to choose?
Hi all!
Looking for rear wheel seals for my 87 Firebird 2.8, 10 bolt axle. I live in Ukraine and the most suitable vendor I can buy from is RockAuto.
I've read lots of threads but can't figure out which seal diameter is my?
Look here http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,1860 there's two types of rear seals - smaller diameter and bigger. For example, shaft sizes are 1,65" and 1.39".
Please, help to choose the right one.

Correct part # for the 10-bolt rear (which is what you should have) is 8660.

I used Timken 8660S.

EDIT: BTW, if you were wondering, the 1.65 appears to be for a 9-bolt, the 1.39 for a 10-bolt.
