I've read that timken taper bearings are better for the the reason they take side to side torque better. Also you can preload the torque on tapered bearings but not the traditional bearings you get w

Moose, I've run the timken roller bearings for years with no problems. You can set the preload on the ball bearings by "adjusting the spacer" by lengthing or shorting it, so when it is torqued you ha

If there are any bearing engineers out there, please stand up and be counted. Would love to get the word on this distance piece and /or the mod to convert to tapered roller bearings.

One of the front hubs on my bugeye came right off, the other one required the extractor. The local auto-parts-chain-store rented one to me for $5 or some such trivial amount. One of the bearings (act

Quick question about my Midget's wheel bearings. I got the hub off and drove out the bearings. I think part of each bearing (inner and outer) must still be in the hub as when I got the bearings in my

You have to drift out the old bearing races. A bronze drift is best but any large enough socket will work too. If you do not have a socket or suitable drift, tap the races out using what ever by alt

You can buy pullers from Harbor Freight. Don't know the cat# but the SKU# on the box is P-32184. It's a set of 3 and they were very inexpensive. I used them for my rear hubs; haven't neede to do the

Use almost any local industrial bearing supplier. They can cross index your bearings to what ever they carry. I tend to prefer Timken (sp?). KAMAN here in SD and in San Marcos are have most bearings
