I've searched and searched on this and I'm stumped. I came up with the stock replacement bearing for F1 Hubs to F1 Spindles to be Timken 14130 with an ID of 1.3125 in, and I bought one. It will not slide on to the spindle. My spindle seems to be coming out a little oversize at about 1.316 in. My question is simple, What Bearing Will Fit?
I came up with the OE number being 01Y-1201 but I can't find what the inner diameter was on that part. I don't want to throw more money into the hole until I know what the deal is here.
From what i can tell, the old books just say "1.31" and leave it at that, but there's a world of difference between 1.31, 1.3125, & 1.316" This is driving me crazy today.
NEVERMIND! I cleaned it real, real good and everything's fine now. 0.035" of dirt and oil that I thought I'd gotten off were the culprit presumably. That or maybe some paint mist that wandered over onto there at some point.
