Flakrabbit Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Got a set (supposedly inner and outer) of rear wheel bearings for Bratula, and they don't match. One is much larger than the other...my Haynes manual shows both one piece and two piece styles - but they seem to match eyeball wise. Do Brats have a flat roller bearing and then a conical one for the rear ends? Thans Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Rear wheel bearings for all EA81 and EA82 4WD vehicles are either a single sealed unit containing two roller bearings and races and a spacer , or a three peice affair with a single race, and two roller bearings that fit in either end of that race. In both cases the two taper bearings are the same size. Under no circumstances should either of those bearings be a non-taper bearing. The front wheel bearings use two flat ball bearings on each side..... This is a rear wheel bearing *assembly* (1 per side): This is a front wheel bearing (2 per side): The only thing I know of that uses different sized bearings is the rear bearings on a 2WD - they are loose taper bearings and one is larger than the other.

GeneralDisorder Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 2WD Brats were availible only in countries other than the US/Canada. Isreal got a crap load of them apparently..... GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 probably for the 94 model year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Apparently, 4WD Brats are actually rare in Isreal. And if you are wondering, they did make 2WD Gen 1 Brats too. The brochure archive has a picture - Subaru called it the "shifter". GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
