#1 Wheel bearing sizes

Post by Tricky1.5 » Sun May 21, 2017 12:47 pm

Hi Guys,
My local supplier says he can supply wheel bearings and seals. Unfortunately I do not possess the original ones. Does anyone have the numbers or dimensions for the bearings and seals front and back for a 68 series 1.5.
Cheers

You'll be delighted to know that the front bearings are the same as Holden trailer bearings.
The rears are Timken 18690-18620 and 18590-18520.

Where you may run into trouble is with the seals.

The rear seals are 2.250x3x.218 and 2.875x3.375x.188.
I don't have a size on the front seal as I don't have one available to check but I don't think they are the same as the trailer ones.

Thanks Andrew,
That's a big help. I have seen your blog and tried to contact you a few months back. I'd love to have a chat if you have the time.
