    Hi guys,

    I need to replace the rear axle bearings on my 52 chevrolet Bel Air... one for each wheel and the two on the differential, but I'm a little bit lost....:confused:
    Do you know where can I buy it? could you give me the right measurements on inches? some more information?
    I've checked some on line catalogues and I can´t find where I´m looking for... Maybe my english is not good enough or I don´t have all the information (measurements, etc.)!

    I NEED YOUR HELP!!! (one more time):D

    And also go over to chevytalk, on the 49-54 forum...http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showforum.php?fid/30/fp/1/

    And ask those guys.

    The only thing I can find in the shop manual is that you use "1. Using bearing and retainer replacer K-427 place oil seal, bearing and inside bearing retainer on tool in that order." Will take pics of the pages when I have my camera. Sry no measurements man

  8. Rear wheel bearing BCA R-1500-EL. Seal National 450666.
    According to my catalog, 1946-1954 use the same.
    The 1995 BCA/National catalog only lists 5306W as the pinion bearig. The W leads me to believe it might be seals on one side. They have no listing on diff carrier bearings.
    A GOOD parts guy might be able to identify the carrier bearings by dimension using a bearing spec catalog and a mike.
    Good luck.
