tattoed Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks for that timken it is, im just a bit bothered about all by other britpart stuff iv just bought, like the swivel housing and pins and seals. It just goes to show that you should do your home work 1st. thanks agin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 BRIT PART VS TIMKEN Oh please! - it's like comparing concrete to chocolate. Timken are excellent. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vavu Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Have to agree Timken Bearings everytime don't settle for anything less unless of course you like pulling things apart over and over and changing them!! Might be worth checking the needle roller bearings in the stub axles too if you got the swivels apart mine were shot when i overhauled the swivels. Actually on that topic does anyone have any tips on how to remove the needle roller bearings, I made a special tool with a piece of tube, nut & bolt and hammered/levered them out.

dantd5 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 On that note on bearings, is it possible to buy just the top bearing without the pin? Or are they a complete set? Eventually anyone know the part number to just the top bearing to a defender 99 110 td5? B) Ralph will soon come!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pw8757 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Just got all mine out when I replaced the discs with EBC's To the best of my knowledge the originals were still in place - 99k miles! They passed inspection, repacked them with grease and replaced them. Well done Mr Timken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
