The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop bearing # to insert into steering shaft. i'm back at it!

someone once gave me the number of a bearing toa ask for at a shop and i ended up getting the wrong one. this is to keep my stock steering wheel
by cuttinh the steering shaft and pressing in a bearing to hold the shaft. Then i will connect the remainder on the shaft to the u joiunt and so on down the line . remember that part number 6 something---- mike

I bought mine from Chevy Duty, I do not know what the part # is though. You can e-mail OR call them and they will know what you need.
Since I bought mine, someone told me to go to a Toro lawn mower parts house and they can fix you up with one. I have not verified this though??

Go to a bearing shop with your dimensions and they may be able to look one up from that. I think your shaft is common 3/4" for center hole and measure housing ID for outer ID of bearing. I use Bearings Inc, here which has new name of Industrial ***** something now. You will probably have to slot the housing and pull tight with a clamp to hold it in place. Shouldn't need to be real heavy. Fords used a nylon thing in ends of theirs in 70's, that used to fall out after cab brackets went bad and cab fell on steering column! Don't know if they have similar dimensions or not. Try a bearing shop.
