    https://hagensautoparts.com/hudson/38-bearings-seals/10500 Kanter advertised the seal too Also Replacing Rear axle seals Doug Wildrick Try calling Napa, ask for rear axle seals for a VW rear outer seal. This seal comes as a kit. You can throw away the other pieces in the kit or save them for future use. This seal fits in the outer axle flange only, knock old seal out and PRESS new seal in with seal driving tools in the vise. At the same time you have the axle flange off for seal replacement, pull the axle and clean, inspect and repack the bearing. I have found that a new inner axle seal isn't needed. I just wipe the old grease out of the axle/bearing area, wipe some new in and slide the clean and repacked axle back in the housing. I have found the best removal tool is an old Hudson flywheel, simply slide it over the axle, with 4 bolt flange removed, put nut for the brake drum, with the washer on it and give it a few hits, like using a slide hammer, comes right out. E-mail me if I can be of further assistance

    Thanks, Farmer.  I've got the Dana numbers, but I believe they're different from the earlier ones.  They're for a '51 Hudson owner in Sweden who, like me, has replaced these seals in the past but need a current number for them.  I know there are new ones are out there . . .  I've seen them.  But need a good number.  Park
