Author Message   Tod662 Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 03:04 pm:        I have a bunch of rear left side wheel bearings- #43341-94Y can they also be used on the right side or the front Rim?   Lake_bueller Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 03:13 pm:        Nope. The front bearings are different than the rear.   Bluzm2 Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 05:41 pm:        Lake, I think the fronts are the same as the left rear. The two R rear are different. Damn, this stuff used to be at the top of the page!   Bluzm2 Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 05:42 pm:        Or maybe the twor R rear are the same as the front? It sucks getting old...   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 05:47 pm:        There are three different bearings used for the four spots in the wheels. The front two are the same. The rear two are different.   Lake_bueller Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 09:51 am:        From the knowledge vault... Castalloy Wheels - NSK bearings Front wheel - 2 ea 6204-2RS Rear wheel Right side - 2 ea. 6205-2RS Left side - 1 ea. 62205-2RS PM (Chrome) Wheels - NSK bearings Front wheel - 2 ea 6204-2RS Rear Wheel - 3 ea 6205-2RS   Sportyeric Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 11:42 am:        Oh oh. Does anyone know what the difference is between the front and the left rear. I matched up a bearing from the rear at a bearing shop then bought three, so I think I have the rear ones installed into the front. I've put 5k on it, so if I screwed up, it doesn't seem to be serious. Although a front wheel bearing failure would be.   Lake_bueller Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 12:05 pm:        Eric... I'm not sure how you could do that and have everything fit correctly. Here's the difference in sizes... 6205 Bore - 25mm OD - 52mm width - 15mm 62205 Bore - 25mm OD - 52mm width - 18mm 6204 Bore - 20mm OD - 47mm width - 14mm I'd immediately stop riding the bike and get the right bearings installed!!!   Buellistic Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 12:17 pm:        BUELLers: If there is nothing wrong with your wheel bearings you can RE-GREASE them, "YES" this is true !!! Still running my OEM wheel bearings because "i" re-grease them ... Have a 108,359.3 miles as of the last ride ... "BUT", if "i" ever have to replace one "i" will go to the BEARING SUPPLY STORE and replace all the bearings for that wheel with the BEST BEARINGs they have !!!   Bluzm2 Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 05:17 pm:        Lake, Thanks for the info, I knew it was something like that... It's been a while since I changed bearings.. We should see if we can get that list posted permanently at the top of the Old School wheel thread. Brad   Lake_bueller Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 05:45 pm:        I had to search for the info myself. I just replaced all my wheel bearings on Sunday. They were easy. It was the tires that gave me fits. The 90 degree and 80% humidity didn't help me any   Sportyeric Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 08:42 pm:        Thanks, Dennis. (Nice profile pic, BTW.) So the numbers are far enough apart that I would have noticed if it was wrong. My memory is faultier than my mechanical skills. Yes, I did actually get the vernier calipers out to check, just to be sure. Thanks again.
