Default Rear axle seal size

Hello,
I have oil leak from rear axle ('96 Tahoe).
Before maintenance, i'd like to buy proper axle seal.
Anyone know the size of this seal (outer and inner diameter)?

Welcome to the forum.

Best bet is to either get the P/N from your parts dept guy or get the seal from a good auto parts store.

Thank you for the answer, but... I live in Central Europe. Tahoe is rather exotic truck here, so it's much more easy to buy a proper part (like bearings, seals, tie rod ends, etc), if I have just physical dimensions instead of p/n.
Of course I can order it on ebay, but shipping costs much more than item .

Correct me if I'm wrong.
The outer diameter is like diameter of axle bearing and inner diameter is like axle?

That seems logical.
