Banjo rear axle bearing info

[pfarber]

I've seen bearings for $60+. Seems that $35 is really all you need to pay:

From http://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubb ... ber=817834

"The Timken number for the inner set is KD12051Z, I could not find pricing at RockAuto for the set, however the set breaks down into the components which comprise it
KD12051Z = 1 395CS Timken cone, and one 394CS Timken cup.
Timken 395CS is $26.99 at RockAuto
Timken 394CS is $18.91 at RockAuto
The outer bearing is set KB11786Y, no pricing as a set at RockAuto, However the components are priced
KB11786Y = 1 387 Timken cone, and one 382 Timken cup.

Paul,

I've owned my truck for a number of years, and one of the first things I did was set up ebay searches based on the attached bearing list... I had these searches running all the time, and found nearly every bearing for my truck, and probably did not pay more than $15 - $20 each. Many were MUCH less. An example of a search string that I've used on ebay is: "(954237, H-5310-A, 144553, U-1306*, 148399, 11820*, 144527, 12051*, 144525, 11786*) bearing" At one time I had seven of these searches for bearing running, and everyday I'd get an e-mail alerting me of new listings. The ones I had the most trouble finding and buying cheaply are the front axle trunnion cone and roller (Timken 41125) and the differential side bearings (Hyatt KA-11820-Z). Those I bought retail here:

Hmm... I tried attaching a PDF file and also a jpg file, but they're not showing up.

If you are not using ebay saved searches and sniping you are not getting 1/10th of what you can out of ebay.

I average about $200 a month off ebay... last month it was over $4k (truck, new press, parts, books).

Although I do miss going to the junk yard with dad to get parts for whatever broke on the 72 Maverick and 67 Fairlane 500.

I'll add the link you have to the vendors section.
