stvski80085 208 #1 Posted June 2 Will these work on a 77 b-80. They look deeper then the standard cheep ones you can get. I bought a caged bearing for in between the two outer bearings but it get's caught up on the inside by the grease fitting. Tried sanding but still an issue. Just looking for something more robust.

kpinnc 14,216 #2 Posted June 2 (edited) I've used them and they are indeed much stronger than the 1/2 inch standard bearing. BUT the important item of note is simple: if the spindles you place it on has a groove worn on the bottom (as many do), that bearing will damage itself and the spindle.

Did you use two per wheel or just one on each wheel? Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve I know @kpinnc will be along shortly to answer this, but yes I believe you do use two per wheel, just like the cheapies… one inner and one outer… 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
