Event Coverage Help in Bakersfield, CA

I'm in the Rambler 20 miles out of Bakersfield and need a wheel bearing replaced when I get there. I don't know which wheel bearing it takes. If you can help please give me a call 520 456-6428

 

Looks like it might take an A5 bearing.

 

I see A2 for the front outer on Rock auto, A5 for rear, A6 front inner

 

Looks like it could have spicer 44 or 53 rear axle.

 

Hey @Moriarity, I'm not sure pinning this emergency post is a good idea. I can't speak for others, but I tend to skip the pinned posts, since they change so infrequently. Might be better to leave the post on the main board and let people bump it for attention. I'd also suggest changing title to indicate it's the Rambin, Man aka squirrel seeking aid.

 

I'm at Chester brake. Might get it fixed

 

Squirrel has good karma I'm betting

 

Here's hoping it gets done soon

 

Squirrel I sure hope it all works out. This reminds me of all the NOS bearings I have in the top of the shop.

 

Bump

 

Getting there

 

Progress! Keep on it and keep us posted.

 

On the side of the road with a bumper jack. Ol' school......I love it!!
Good luck and keep us updated!

 

Look how clean the trunk paint is..........bump.

 

Got it back together. Great folks at this brake shop

 

It looks like Jim made it to the right place, by their website they can handle just about anything chassis wise. He should be right there by the red dot if he hasn't got it back together and on the road.

 

Wow, sorry to read about your troubles. Too bad I’m in Indiana. Well, not really we have water here.

 

That’s one thing that always gets changed on my junk. I’m always terrified of one locking up on the road.

 

Go man go. East coast moral support headed your way.

 

Glad you got it back together but Damn, I had visions of you getting busted by the California law for working on your car in the street. I hope this is the worst that happens on this trip and all the luck in the world for the remainder. Did you get a card or anything with that shop's name on it? They deserve a "Well Done" from the guys following you on your trip.

 

No but I gave them a big tip

 

Glad you're all set. Were you wearing the nerd garb at the brake shop?

 

Chester Ave Brake is a very old and reputable shop in Bakersfield. They have or can get a lot of the older stuff or reline your shoes. Someone gave you good advice glad it worked out for you.

 

Can't keep a good man down.......

 

Bravo !
That Rambler is the TIMEX of A.M.C.
" Takes a lickin and keeps on Tickin "
There is adventure around every corner !

 

Is it just me…or does Squirrel tend to have wheel bearing problems!

...He drives a LOT...and many are long forgotten memories so that plays in the cards...but if there is anyone who you'd want along for a ride in a unforeseen breakdown @squirrel would be the one...

...secondly this diverse, connected bunch of Hambers are a great avenue for help...
