I want to change front and rear wheel bearings & dirty seals, I have a front bearing off, and call timken's but they were unable to match with part numbers off old bearing. I have a 2006 K9. If anyone No's the part numbers it would help a lot.
thanks, Bruce

Up until just recently Timken only manufactured tapered roller bearings. Now they have partnered with SKF and are now producing a line of needle type caged roller bearings. However they are not yet putting their name on a roller bearing like they ones being used for wheel bearings. You will need to take your bearings to a company that deales with all the brands and can size them up for you. This is what I have started doing with bearings to get a good upgrade. If you do find a place that can size them up, I would go with SKF.

Here is the Timken number for the rear. The front bearing is posted here as well somewhere.

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.

Nomad2day, be sure to let us know how the bearing cross over works and thanks for the numbers. I am not crazy about this chiness crap under my seat either. I think Raywood tried this route also but something didn't fit. I have even thought of some machine work on the axle or the hub to get a better bearing in there on my next replacement. Also I don't like messing with the seals and adding grease either but at these RPMs, don't think heat will be a issue.

I have been running these bearings in mine for over a year now.

I realize this is a little late. I used Timken part # 204PP4 Z22-P in the front wheel of my 07 K9.
