I just got all my parts for replacing the front bearings.  I saw a post somewhere which I can't find now where the parts were listed for SKF and a few others.  I got all my pieces from Timken, except the O-ring, which was gotten at the CAT dealer.

Here are the Timken numbers: Bearings and race  - Set26(2 per side)
                                           Inner seal(CV side) - 3942
                                           Outer seal(wheel)  - 3553
This number is from the CAT dealer: O-Ring(assy to knuckle) - 5P-2931, they said any CAT dealer should be able to get it.  If you have trouble getting it let me know and my local dealer might be able to help.

Anyway, my 12-ton press is pressing and parts are here, so hopefully my next days off I will have my front bearings pressed out, and the new ones pressed in.

Then on to the steering replacement.  Already have the pitman arm, idler arm, tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, end link kits, upper and lower ball joints, upper and lower control arm bushings.
UH-OH

WAIT A SEC...
The outer seals I have are 3942 and fit the hub assembly.

IS THIS RIGHT?
The inner seal is the 3553.  It fits the knuckle.
