Need rear inner and outter Bearing #'s

« on: December 07, 2009, 09:01:23 AM »
Gonna replace the rear wheel beaarings in the ASBug when I fix the rear CV axel leak.  Any one got an old set that they have pulled that I could get the #'s off of.  I need the # actually stamped into the bearing reese.  

I can cross them at work and get an industrial bearing that has the same specs that will be considerably cheaper than the $35 for the outter bearing that I was quoted for a Timken bearing.  

I can cross just about any bearing with the catelogues at work if any one is needing a strange or semi difficult bearing.  Dalton Industrial Bearing in Dalton, GA had the front wheel bearings for my AZ600 Honda in stock for $8 each when the Internet wanted $60 each for them.  They were the same specs and worked great, they were just german bearings instead of Japaneese bearings (FAG).  

Once again, I do not need the part #'s, I need the bearing #'s.

I can pull mine out, but then I'll have the ASBug down for an extra day or so.

It is a 1972 standard beetle that has an autostick.
Thanks,
KC :D

If they are the o.e. bearings, the only number i have typically seen on those on a VW are the full part number.  sometimes, they drop the middle three digits.  Same on the og seals.  If you have the number for the timken bearing, most places can cross that number i think.  i know we could at both pep boys and advance auto back in the day.  you just gotta find the guy they didn't hire last week, so he / she can figure it out for you..   :wink:

I got the brgs at Moore Parts  in Calif.  They were Jap  and I have had no problems at all . I was in no hurry so I didn't mine waiting. 2 inner brgs #50128113, 2 outer brgs #501277113 A,  4 seals#501315113G = $54 + ship.

sounds pretty reasonable to me.  Once again, it pays to have the option to wait just a little.   :wink:
