Spindle bearings part numbers

[cucvrus]

The spindle bearings are inside the spindle.

The only way to know for sure is to take it all the way apart and look. The problem is, any little bit of water and schmoo gets past those old seals and it will seize up those small bearings. Mine were toast on one side, but the other was not as bad. Youll just have to take it apart to see

Thanks you were correct

Can anyone tell me does the spindle bearing go in a ,certain way up or down

It does not have a side preference. Like I said getting the old one out is harder than putting the new one in. And keep in mind you can get by with somethings just by a good cleaning and a good application of grease. I fixed front axles at 0300 many times and had no parts but used and grease. sometimes the repairs were used and held up the rest of the plowing season and I had no issues. Good Luck. Do replace the rubber seals which ever way you decide to go.

Thank you for for your help and others I learned so much in this crash course ... Bought the spindle repair kit got it together .... I found using a rail road spike put it in the hole the lip fits into the space inside and use a chisel to hit spike move hit and works to push old bearing out .... Worth a,try

as long as you don't gouge the spindle. Seems crude but in a pinch I guess it works if you say so.

In my limited experience it seems that nobody has ever even seen that bearing let alone replaced it! Almost every truck I've ever torn down (1st time) that bearing was either dry as a bone or seized up or both.
