One idea is measure the shaft diameter, not the seal ID because the seal will spread out a little. Each manufacturer may have a different amount of compression. So let’s say you order a seal for a 14mm ID, it may not seal properly. If you order a seal that the manufacturer says is for a 14mm shaft, the seal ID may be 13mm so it applies pressure to the shaft.

A seal for a 9/16“ diameter shaft may work depending on design. 14mm is .011” smaller than 9/16” (.5625” - .551” = .011”)

I want something that will work. But I'm in Europe (Greece) so McMaster Carr is out (and they dont have the sizes I want)...

The dimensions I quoted are of the replacement part. I first want to order replacements and then do the work. The seals are 40+years old so they will be replaced irrespective of condition.

These guys are just up the road from me, a little outside Indianapolis: Metric Seals, Inc.

I've used them for oddball old motorcycle seals, o-rings, and such a few times. Metric Seals, Inc. is one of those businesses that is pretty much exactly what it says on the label.

Whether this information will do any good for you in Greece, I have no idea. I'm sure there are plenty of seal suppliers in Europe, but whether there's a way for consumers to buy them, I don't know.

As mentioned, make sure you're measuring the shaft diameter and not the seal ID.
