If you mean the axle shaft bearing, the set number is a (NAPA) BR7, includes the cup, cone, and retaining ring.

Do you know the parts for the axle bearings for a 8.75?

Thanks Ken

Convertcuda

Yes sorry thats what I meant. Thanks!! Do you know the number in Timken?

I think it is just #Set7
NAPA bearings are SKF

Thanks is there a special seal that goes into the retainer?


Mrbill426

The outer seal is NAPA 19000, National 8704S, or Mopar 2404216
The carrier to housing gasket is Felpro RDS6583

I just want to make sure that I have the right seal. The one I'm referring is the one fits into the bearing retainer adjustment plate. I wanted to buy all Timken from Rock Auto. Thats why I was asking for the numbers. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Ken

Mrbill426

Yes.  I think all those seals are for is to keep the axle bearing grease in and dirt/water out.   The inner seals keep the gear lube from flowing out and getting into the brakes.  The bearings do not run in oil, they are lubed by packed grease.

If I am wrong, someone PLEASE step up and set me straight.  :popcorn:
