Hey guys, So I pulled front wheels off to grease bearings and rebuild wheel cylinders. I found 2 different inner wheel bearings which isn't uncommon I guess. One was a timken 17888 and the other is a NTN 4T-17888 which was made in japan. The NTN bearing has larger collar which seal runs on by approximately 1/16th of an inch in circumference. I found the original Victor felt seals on ebay. They fit the Timken bearing nicely but no go on the NTN bearing. The PO had beat the dog poo out of the old felt seal to get it on NTN bearing previously but not wanting to do that again. So to make a short story long, does anyone know if there were updated seals for NTN or after market bearings? Also does anyone have reliable source for bearings or seals? I saw Jim carter had inner bearings for 166.00 but not really wanting to spend that. Tough rascals to find now days.
Tks, Doug
