I having a problem finding the correct size wheel bearing seal for my power stop drilled brake discs ..I have sourced two from auto zone (durolast) and Napa (SKF) neither seems to fit and both are are off in size...anybody has had this problem sourcing the correct size even when the part is listed as the correct seal?

That first image looks to me like the seal just needs to be knocked into place.

Do you have a socket that size or some other circular piece of something? Hell, I've use a roll of duct tape to smack on in a pinch.

Usually you can borrow seal drivers at the auto parts store if you don’t have anything like what Noobz mentioned.

Also, since you did not preface what the caliper reading is showing is that the ID of the pocket where the seal installs on the rotor?

That's stock spec replacement part, get a flat piece of wood or a socket that fits the shoulder and tap it in,

Those part numbers do show to be the correct seal for a 1986 rotor.

Yes the part numbers are correct for 84 85 and 86 svo 's and 87 to 93 50.L mustangs. All 79 to 86 5.0L and 4 cyl up to 93 cars with the ten inch discs call for for a different size seal about 2.50 inch I.D ....the correct size was found by getting a seal for a 79 or 84 ( SKF # 19221) thru another trip to Napa ....autozone online lists it's durolast for all models of foxbodies ....If you go to a parts store and ask seal for a 82 to 86 gt you better off showing them the old seal or measure the the back of the hub to get the right part.... thanks for the help anyways ...I hope that will help those who can get confused by this...like I did
