Rear wheel bearings

Postby scampbel98 » Mon Oct 02, 2017 3:15 pm

Got a crunchy sound that I think is coming from the rear pax side. I've removed the axles and have ordered new rear bearings. No one in town had them. I'm going to get the pressed on and off at a shop. There's a couple of super thin o-ring seals or gaskets where the bearing meets the caliper carrier.

Where can I find or source those. Vicks, Mr. Fiat.. no one has them...

thanks

Oh, sorry, you need related parts. Maybe A/R has them?

I just replaced my rear axle seals and the O-rings two weeks ago, AR had both items in stock.
Use some heavy grease to keep the O-ring in place on the bearing and keep it from rolling.
