Will this axle seal work?

[Glennster]

I got this at the Napa store. It was made in AMERICA!!!
The outer diameter is the same.
The outer thickness is the same.
The inner diameter on the new one is 1.500'' and the old seal is about 1.555'', I figure that the old seal is stretched from 40  years of use, so I think this is OK (?).....  The axle measures 1.560'', so I think the ID of the new seal is good.
 Here's the rub, as you can see in the picture the new seal has a more shallow '' Seal Depth '' (Old seal depth=.490,  New seal depth=.240''), I think this should be OK since it seal is closer to the collar. Do you guys see any problem with this???
I appreciate you opinions.

I just installed that exact seal yesterday. Slipped it over the axle shaft b4 installation and it fit nicely. Drove it in with a big wooden dowel. (was an old wooden baseball bat that I squared off with a chop saw )

How did you come up with that PN, I think it should be 8695S for the inner seal.

If it was mine I'd like to have the maximum seal contact area possible.  You really don't want to have to pull it apart and do it again if it starts leaking.

The boys at the Napa store came up with it.......
Where can I look at the 8695S?

Apparently according to some cross reference book that my parts guy had, the 8695S National seal is the same as that SKF seal. As you can tell though, it is not really identical,but inner and out bores matched up so I installed it.

Maybe that page doesn't work with Firefox. When I entered the PN it just went blank.

I've got Firefox, It didn't work for me.................

Well my car will be on the road tomorrow. Hopefully it lasts a little longer than yours did CP. Will post results tomorrow pm.

 Chryco,
 Sorry for the crap luck. Did both side leak?

I have not installed mine yet. Where could I go to get a better seal. Mancini?

dodj,
  Posting your results would be very helpful.........
THANKS!

Local parts store can get them, just ask for National.

If not, RockAuto has them.

No leaking on mine yet, but it's only been 50 km.

I only replaced the seal on one side & it was the only one that leaked

[Glennster]

 I think I'm going to return my seals and try to find some that are closer the the stock ones.......
  These look like they should work fine, I can't understand why Chryco's failed.
