rear axle bearing numbers

[Hoghead]

For several reasons, I would like top buy all the bearings and seals for my rear end from a local bearing house

Since bearings and seals have standard international markings, does anyone know the numbers for all the bearings and seals in a BJ8 rear end?

The rear axle hub bearings on my 62 BT-7 are English made , R&M co. # LDJ45 40-97 My local bearing shop matched up all of my bearings for the differential.

anyone have the seals, pinion and carrier bearing numbers?

I just sent the pinion and carrier bearing numbers to John Sims to put on his web site. I somehow lost the larger pinion bearing.

Front (small) pinion bearing: 02474/02420.....Rear (large) pinion bearing: 3420/3478.....Carrier bearing: 7209WN (must be a thrust bearing....A plain 7209 will not last long)...RAX bearing: 4209ATN9 (the last four characters could be different depending on manufacturers.)

Great stuff

I presume that RAX is the 2 rear axle bearings

Any PN for the seals?

I'll see what I can do for the seals. 'Somewhere' I have a card file with factory part #s and interchanges. Seals would have up to ten different part numbers as well as specifications. (National,Chicago Rawhide,Unipart,Factory,MIS,Gaco,etc.)

Steve at the BJ8 registry was kind enough to provide me with the axle seal number NTK 1929 SC 287 212 37 and my bearing house confirms this is a good number and in stock

All I need now is the pinion seal and good to have a go at rebuilding the rear end

BTW,the above NTK number also contains the dimensions 287 is OD,212 is ID and 37 is width. 287 is really 2.875,212 is 2.125 and 37 is .375. The pinion seal has always been hard to source from anywhere but the UK.
