I needed to replace the bearings in an intermediate shaft recently and it wasn't really a hard job but I did dent the outside of the large seal. I inquired about a replacement seal from the company that I got the rebuild kit from, a Febest AS-306216-Kit, and was told they were not available separately and I would need to order a complete kit to get it. Being old and stubborn, I was determined to find said seal and not pay $20 for one.
The following are the parts and their costs. The Febest kit was nice and it was complete and makes the shaft have no slop again but runs $35.
I ordered seals (and bearings) in quantity of 3's since I have 3 other shafts. I was able to still use the large seal that I dented, I just used a coating of RTV around it for good measure. I have not installed these yet but will be very soon and will have install pictures at that time.
Right now, I have the part numbers and links for each. All of the replacements seem identical by looks and feel. I will update with results ASAP.
The Febest AS-306216-KIT is on the left and the make your our kit parts (for about half price) are on the right.
