It is going to be 71* today, getting colder (56*) by Sunday, so I am
going to replace the front bearings today. I have a Koyo inner roller
bearing and a Beck Arnley ball type outer bearing. Neither one has any
markings for "thrust" on it.
My 1969 Chilton's doesn't even mention the front bearing replacement.
The BMC shop manual, Bentley for the 1275 series cars, Clymer, and
Glenns all mention the orientation of the word "thrust". The Haynes
mentions that the word "thrust" may be on different sides, depending on
the manufacturer.
SO, with no more books to access here (are there any that I am missing?)
I prevail upon the list. On the inner bearing, does the narrow end of
the taper face in or out. In looking at the rounded part of the ID, it
appears that it should face in, but I want to be sure.
Now, the outer caged ball bearing. When I push on one side, it tightens
up, that way is the way I want pressure on it, correct? Put the bearing
in so that the nut presses the bearings against the other side of the
race. Again, it looks pretty elementary, but years ago, in towing a
parts car home, I put in a set of bearings and messed it up, so on a
driver, I want to be sure. Thanks to all, and I hope that many of you
are able to be home recovering from your thanksgiving meal yesterday.
