reliant axle wheel bearings

[brains]

did someone recently post the number of the bearings and a cheap supplier or was I dreaming ?

I am sure someone has posted about cheap bearings last week but darned if I can find where. Wonder if the search will find it, will have a go

I must have dreamt it or else it was something other than bearings cos Search isn't finding it sorry

The half-shaft bearings are 6305-L8: 62x25x17mm, and the accompanying seals, Gaco IND.49516. The pinion bearing is an  L44649, and the pinion oil seal is Gaco. IND. 49517. I get mine from E.B.R. Bearing Supplies of Bolton. They advertise on "E" Bay, or they have a Web Site, www.ebrbearings.co.uk. I have found them excellent on price for all my bearing requirements, so ask them for a quote, ....Morrag

Have just bought 2 halfshaft seals & bearings from Michaels, £42.66 inc delivery. They asked me for measurements as there are more than one size bearings/seals used.

Always best to check dims, but the last three axles I have overhauled all had metric half shaft bearings, 6305 2RS's, that's a double shielded 6305 ballrace, and I paid £4.83 a pair for the last ones I bought, inc. postage from E.B.R. Bearings, so there you go.... Morrag

I've been caught out once or twice -built axles using parts from different donors -casings from one car & drive shafts from another -& found the bearings didn't fit. I think Reliant used both Metric & Imperial fittings, so you need to measure accurately when ordering.
