just thought i'd let someone know. fyi. jic. about the same price as when i tried to buy them from the dealer but that fell through.

You can get inner and outer for $13 each from rockauto.Maybe not the same quality but much cheaper.

all parts and bearing houses say they can get them but the master catalog book for all of the usa is wrong. there is a great thread buried somewhere on nwde on this very subject. it's not easy to find the last time it took me forever and i didn't book mark it. that link should have made it over here somewhere by now.

 

it gets fairly complicated. they will list as 32kb02 and even say 32kb02 but their not the real deal. courtesy phone paging mklots70, please show us that great link so i can book mark it.

Luckily, I noticed the thread title.....you guys might want to pm me if there's something specific like this you want me to check. I only look at about 25% of the threads on here. :)

 

It's on the 5th page of the disc brake thread....near the bottom.

At first I thought the price was insane, but the outers(easy to find) can $20-28ea and the WRONG inners(30206) can be about $30ea.....so that's roughly $110 for the 4 bearings. The guys ebay info is all correct. I paid $65ea for the last set of inners I bought for Alan's brakes. They were HR302/32 if I remember right. Same dimensions, just heavier load rating. I couldn't get them anymore last time I checked.

 

For that kind of money, I'd hit the scrapyard for a set of 620 drum spindles....or use a 2mm spacer and the 620 drum bearing on the 521 spindle. I don't know for sure the spacer will work well, but that's the difference....which is explained in the nwde thread.

 

I'm trying to get the DRO set up on the lathe so I can start working on another option that will use the Harbody bearings.....which were used from '78-'01 and on many different brands...including chevy's, mercedes....blah, blah, blah :)

Took your advice Mike

Got one from the yard 2 months ago.

I can resolve 2 problems with it.

Don't have to replace the King pin cause it's still in good condition and of course the 620 inner bearings.

 

Mike, wheel offset is the same right? from a 521 and 620 spindle.

The 620 spindle, with it's own bearings has exactly the same offset as the 521 spindle with it's bearing.

for now i'm just grabbing used 521 32kb02 inner bearings from the yard for extra's. i suppose i should be grabbing the cups in the drums also. or the whole drum seeing that the cups dont come out that easy.

 

one day i'll get around to the 620 swap or 2mm spacer thing.

[dat521gatherer]

oh mklotz70 thanks for the great link bro!!:D

[mklotz70]

you def want to get the cups.

 

you're welcome :)
