[JIMMY76]

where is everyone getting their axel bearings for their 14bff wich parts stores has the best deals. I am doing my disc conversion and I figured since they were off I would change the bearing too. So where are you guys getiing them at what prices thanks

The place i got mine from is a local parts house called Big A's. They ONLY carry Timken, the best IMO. I'll pay more for a quality product.

There is no need to replace them if they look good. Just do a careful inspection on them and reuse them if they're good.

With that being said then they need to be replaced.

How do you consider them to be "pretty worn"? What you're looking for is pitted bearings and or races or bearings that are discolored. If neither of that is found then they are perfectly fine to be reused.

the races were pitted up not real bad but definitly pitted and the bearings themselves it hard to explain but were just worn out I geuss I don't know how to explain real sloppy maybe I don't know they are definitly well used but anyways I picked up bearing seals and races autozone for under 100 than I had to play find 16 wheel studs between all the parts store in town finally got them all but i got everthing now time to put everything back together
