swingarm seals

[imsimon]

hiya, Im sure its on here already but Ive given up searching after 30mins!

Ive had my swingarm off today cleaned everything and will grease bearings that were all good but I think the seals on the outside of swingarm look past there best although have not failed yet,
does anyone know what size these are?
Ive also read people use Orings rather than seals? If so what size for these and do you need a washer on the outside of the Oring and if so what size?

I know I can get the seals from gasgas uk but they want 3 times the price of the seals for postage!

cheers

Just a very good waterproof grease. A bunch of us use a marine moly from mcmaster carr by jet lube (I think). I don't have the part num with me.

Thanks for your post eff! Searched this site and your post had the most o-ring info I needed to order from McMaster carr. Couldn't find the jet lube "marine moly" on mcmaster's site so called jet-lube, they directed me to Amazon.com and a nearby supplier. Local bearing house had 22x28x16 Koyo cageless bearing for $6.62 ea. Cant wait for the goodies to arrive and get her buttoned back up.

McMaster carr does still carry the jet lube marine moly. I just ordered some with my 21x28x3.5 orings. McMaster carr associate found it when I gave her the jet-lube part # 65005.
Thanks again too all who share info on here, really do appreciate it!
