:help:
Apparently no stores here in town have what I need and I can't seem to really find much on the net.
I am needing front bearings. And from what I am seeing in the Eaglepedia (http://www.amceaglenest.com/~iowaeagl/guide/index.php?title=Front_Wheel_Bearings) is that I will need inner and outer wheel bearings ???
I found the front outers on RockAuto:
TIMKEN Part # SET26 Front Outer
I am not having any luck at finding the inner wheel bearings.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I believe the bearings are interchangable. I have never purchased any but I have disassembled them and regreased the bearings and reassembled with new seals. There was a thread that listed the parts needed, for a rebuild, with the part numbers.
Front Wheel Bearings, Inner (2 per axle) and Outer (2 per axle),
Timken-Set26, AMC-3238136, Federal Mogul-A40, SKF- BR26, Sealed Powered-FS40, L&S Bearing-S40 & S126.
Front Wheel Seal, Inner (2 per axle)
Timken-3942, AMC-3238137, Kelsey-103993 & 10399301, SKF-24886, National-3942, Victor-47942, AMC-J3238137
Front Wheel Seal, Outer (2 per axle)
Timken-3553, AMC-3250733, National-3553, Victor-47956
Hope this helps. From the info I've gathered, these are for Eagle's 80-88.
Yes, inner and outer are the same.
I believe some 80-81 cars used a "Non-replaceable" ball bearing that was supposed to be replaced with the knuckle as a unit.
I just hand my left front one replaced, and there was only a delay in getting the parts ordered.
You can rebuild the early ball bearing hubs with the later roller bearings. I think Jim did that a while back.
Did you try Kenndey American?
Ok, I am really REALLY lost, so I hope someone can clarify.
RockAuto and Autozone list the TIMKEN Part # SET26 Front Outer as the wheel bearings I would need.
BUT when you look up the component pieces of a set 26, it doesn't match at all - the bearing and race combo is shown under #Set24 in the Timken book. ???! The 4946 and 4910 line up with set 24, the set 26 shows these as bearing and race - J15585/15520. Could Timken have the set wrong, and thus so does anyone that sells Timken number based items?
I was told most (if not all) bearings have JML104946 stamped into them.
Inner and outer seals:
2 cones (bearings) Timken number JLM104946
2 cups (races) Tinken number JLM104910 Z
Is this correct?
I am still confused. I read LaGuardi's Rebuilt hubs thread and he said he used the Timken #set26. But as my above post states it seems to be wrong.
Can someone chime in please? ???
SET 26 is correct -- you may want to notify Timken of their error. Is the catalog they are using a brand new one? I doubt it, but maybe the SET 24 supersedes the SET 26?
