Not in this case: The one referenced above is only a "so called" double-lip seal, and both lips are not identical. The outer one is much smaller and doesn't have a spring. It just helps to keep sand and mud away from the real sealing area.
Yes, that - or the lip just wears away. That's why at...
Well, for the closed end (M) it looks like it has to be 20161 then, not 2016....
Found one here: https://www.amazon.com/Koyo-NRB-M-20161-Needle-Bearing/dp/B07DJ9XK72
Real: yes. But a practical tool for Deuce owners to have: absolutely not!
I have seen it installed and in service - heavy, bulky, not really user friendly. By the time you have it ready to work you would be halfway done with much more simpler methods.
Moderators note: Several posts about transmission removal are now moved over to this thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?116418-Deuce-Transmission-Removal-Crossbar
I just inserted all the bearing numbers in this exploded view diagram (taken from my favorite parts book ORD 9 SNL G-742, JAN1955...)
Except for the input gear roller bearing assemblies (found only through eBay), all others are std/popular sizes.

Leaves me wondering what exactly is wrong with those you already...
Wow, that "stretch" really looks dangerous to me...:shock:, besides the surge brake not working as designed, that way.
I would rather have lowered the whole trailer tongue.
... but it's definitely a "YES" for someone capable of rebuilding his winches...;-)
Probably easiest if you had those special tools, although it can be done without them. You just need a soldering iron, tiny screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, some silicone grease and lots of patience...
Even if no visible defects, if that truck has been sitting like that for more than a few days, those flat tires may be ruined anyway and should not be reused on the road.
For a 21x18 wheel with a 80/20 offset the backspace would be about 16-1/2", if mounted dished-in.
Now, the backspace of the stock 20x10 HET wheel only has 13 inches, and I really doubt that there is much room left, for a wheel moved further inwards.
From a few pics I have, it seems that those...
