The axle shaft wheel bearings just have the letters BCA and the number 88128 on them. I've tried to buy some of these in the UK and have been told that there are two different bearings with this number: 88128-RA and 88128-RB does anyone know which bearing is right for this rear end?
Also when I replace the bearing and retaining ring on the axle shaft do I need to heat the retaining ring before installing it, or does it just press on? looks like it might need a big press if it has to go on cold.
Thanks in advance for any replies. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 165 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 165 | I have 2 of those 88128 bearings with retainers. I have sent you a message.
Yes you need a press to push on the bearings and retainers and no heat. | | |
