560SL Front Wheel Bearing Seal P/N

[Roncallo]

I ran into a problem this weekend which now has my 1988 560SL completely disabled.

I removed the front wheel seals with the intent on replacing them. I damaged the old one so they are no longer usable. The replacements I have are too big, but the part number in EPC says they are correct.

The part number I have is A 011 997 51 47 which is both on the package and on the seal itself. According to EPC this is the correct number. The size of the seal is 45x64x12. I really need 45x60x10. I know I can probably look up a National equivalent but I prefer to use the genuine MB.

Does anyone know the real part number.

Wise guy. Deciding to bump this to the top. Like I said I was just testing everyone. Lets see if anyone catches on.
