Wheel bearing death?


Recommended Posts

I live a half hour from teh closest parts store

 

Ok, so comparison shop the thing, it is a "stocking" number at an industrial bearing supply, so phone someone (I live in a relatively small city of 150,000 and there are 3 such places), compare with on-line price+shipping. The bearings are oversize for the intended application (hardly stressed), but as I pointed out before, they go bad because of water contamination, so, if you go with a stock (un-sealed) bearing you should be buying seals too (probably another $12).

I would buy a double sealed industrial bearing, pull one seal (the inner on installation) grease them, slam them in, then clean up your old seals, and re-use.

You are going to end up fighting with getting the axle (stub end) in and out more than with the bearings.
