The bearings have a serial no. stamped on them. Then go to supercheap auto and they will supply the new ones. So you will have to remove the old bearings to see what the no. is.

Also pays to carry a small grinder with cut off wheel as many times with a bad failure bearing inner cone will weld itself to the axle stub. All the spares wont help if you cannot remove the old cone :Y:

If you get an outer bearing cage siezed and you cant punch or press it out , putting a short run of weld inside them will give enough shrinkage that they will fall out.

Not something you are likely to have on the side of the road though unless you have one of those little 12 Volt car battery powered gasless minispool MIG welders
