Going to changing out the rear wheel bearing in my 2004 BDM Chooper. Need a little help on part#'s and right place to buy them. I hear there a a few vendors that sell from China. I just do not want to get stroked :job:. If China stuff is the only thing then so be it, if not then please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Pull them out and take them to your local Bearing& Seal store. Were I'm at I have Akron Bearing. They usually have a couple of chioces for brands. They will match them up.

Here is the deal on the bearings after going to BDI and speaking with them.
The original bearing I removed, 6205RS 16 is a one inch bearing. The 16 at the end stands for 16/ 16ths or 1 inch. Being that it is a no brand bearing I chose the route you did and ordered 3 Timken/Fafnir 205KDD2. Yea, screw China under my ass too. The 2 at the end of a bearing number represents it has been modified in "some" way. Be it the race or whatever. The Timken/Fafnir 205KDD2 is no doubt a quality bearing and I gave 20.00 a piece for them. They will be here tomorrow anyway. As we measured the shaft itself, the values were all over the place depending where it was measure. They were surprised as well.

The front bearings were a Bearings Limited 6204X3/4 2RS.

I asked about opening the seal and applying extra grease and was advised not to do that. The extra grease will cause the bearing to heat up more thus causing premature failure also. Appears it is a science to the amount that is applied for a particular bearing.

Speaking of getting stroked, call Strokers (214) 357-0707 ask for Jason or Lena they can hook you up with BDM Parts. Strokers is an Authorized Dealer for BDM.

:2thumbs: If you want the front the same as the back timken/fafnir they are 204 pp4 z22-p, the back are 205kdd2 the letters and number relate to the bearing being modified. if you try to put a straight 205 bearing on the rear they won't fit as the hole has been made bigger to fit our slightly larger axel.:2thumbs:

Are these for the PM wheels? IF SO,lowrider47, is this number good, 204 pp4 z22-p, for the front? I tried google and can't find it. I can find Timken/Fafnir 205KDD2, for the rear with no problem.
I'm just trying to figure out what my options. Sealed bearings in front instead of the stock ones, and just better sealed bearing for the rear. THANKS.

I work for an automotive company here and they may of gave me a corporate discount on top of the pricing seeing how we purchase a lot of items through them. Depending who you work for that may apply locally to you as well.
If it is more cost effective and if you want me to see about purchasing some for you here and shipping them to you I can do that as well.
