Reveeen Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
