Timken themselves sound a pretty good bet going by Rob Mac's earlier post, not sure but I think Cromwell tools are also agents for Timken. Only other is Minispares, not sure about any of the others. I must admit it pays to have a look around first at old established parts suppliers/shops especially the smaller ones. Over a period of about a month I found a complete set front and back all Timken with matching spacers from 3 different suppliers I paid a total of less than £45 for all four bearing kits.

Anybody used this stuff for the driveshaft CV joints, or is something else better?



Thanks for help.

Does what it says on the tin

Thanks for info. I've got a number of tubs and cans that are suitable for one application but not another even though labelled much the same.

New bearings don't come with the grease/dirt seal spacer ring.

So try and clean up the old ones, or just don't fit them, just ensure the seal does not touch the bearings.

Hi Alex,

The seals were all chewed up and I don't think there were any spacer rings amongst the debris that came out.

Should I just keep the seals away from the bearings by a couple of milimitres then?

Cheers,

Adam
