620 Carrier Bearing on Ebay

[ryknot]

I have ordered mine. Thought some other 620 owners might be interested. This is dirt cheap from a reputable shop. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180626236401&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

The problem is that the rockauto one is the bearing only. Doesn't have the rubber ring, which is what goes bad. The bearing seldom fails.

Good catch! I was trying to figure out the differences. I need to take a look at mine and see how it looks.

Yep and the one that was 58 at rockauto is no longer avail, well it is but now its i think 86. and the one from NW Driveline is free shipping.

Doug is right on this. The bearing almost never fails yet people continue to change them. It's the rubber isolator that rots away and doesn't support the driveshaft.

[Javin]

Well can you buy the rubber isolater by it's self?

I bought 2 of them awhile back from Rock Auto. I used one and have one new one left. They are Beck/Arnley part #101-3460. I checked Rock Auto and they have them on close out for $18.75 ea. I think I paid $22 each for mine. I don't remember what the shipping was on them. These are the rubber donut for the carrier bearing. Does not include the bearing. They are not that hard to change out. I think I just took the carrier bearing off the shaft and used a side grinder or angle grinder and cut through the thin metal part of the donut being careful not to cut down into the bearing. When you cut through the metal ring, you can just peel it off the bearing and then press the new one on. I just used a block of wood and a hammer and tapped it on. Its a pretty light press fit.

im goign to be getting rid of my carrier bearing, im going to cut the shafts on a band saw, bevel them, weld them and then take the ne won epeice and have it balanced. I still havent figured out why a 2.5 foot drive shaft needs a support bearing anyways? :blink:

Let me know what this runs you in the end, I would like to do this as well.
