113-311-373A Rear Pinion Shaft Bearing

Post by THX1138 »

So I left my rear pinion and main shaft bearings in a dirty parts wash bucket and they're full of grit so I'd like to go ahead and replace them. The mainshaft bearing is easy enough to find replacements for but I can't find the rear pinion shaft bearing anywhere. Does anybody have a source on them other than looking through a bearing manufacturer catalog for a suitable replacement?

I assume you mean the "big" double threaded pinion bearing. Weddle has them but they are not cheap..over $100.00 last time I bought any.

No, I meant the much smaller needle bearing on the nose cone end.

OK< I am sure Weddle as well as others has these as well, however, my experience with these is that they rarely need replacing as I have seen VERY few ever wear out so a "good" used one should be fine if you cannot clean yours.
