I have a leaking input shaft seal. I picked up a seal kit over the winter and decided today I would get it done. Managed to remove the old seals and grabbed the new one to discover it was the wrong size, Too small??

Re checked the Napa and the Edelmann site to see if I screwed up when ordering but everything checked out. Edelmann lists their 8525 kit for my year truck with the Casting number 7802644 which is what I have.

They list another 7095Kit for casting number 7802644L.
These are the only 2 kits they have listed so I went ahead and ordered the 7095 kit although it shouldn't fit my truck.

Anyone have this issue before? Does anyone know if the 7095 kit is for a slightly larger shaft?
I am hoping there isn't an other seal kit out there I am missing, and the 7095 is the correct one.
