The replacement bearings they sell on many sites including classicparts.com are seemingly the wrong size or else built to a sloppy spec.
I'm in the rear axle on my '66 burb to replace axle seals and thought new bearings would be a good idea.
That was a mistake, the old ones had about .004" of radial play, but the new ones had .008" !!
Lesson learned:
Keep the old bearings, or else find some new old stock.
New SKFs from Thailand cant beat a 60 year old Hyatt from USA.
