wheel bearings again

i was looking for replacement rear wheel bearing but have not been able to find the SKF 6205VSP25

i found some similar in the grainger website --

is this the correct one - maybe the vsp25 has been renamed ?

SKF Radial Ball Bearing, Sealed, Dia. 25mm - Radial Ball Bearings - 23Y215|6205 2RS - Grainger Industrial Supply

also this fastenal bearing seems to match 0474393

DAYTON Radial Bearing, Sealed, Bore 25 mm - Radial Ball Bearings - 1ZGH5|1ZGH5 - Grainger Industrial Supply

thanks -- also directions for remove and replace would be helpful

thx :cheers:

the sp25 signifies that it is a special due to the fact that the axle is a little different size than standard. they are probably NOT the same.

i am still trying to validate but if our axel's are exactly 1 inch (25.4mm) then we would need the bearing designated with the 6205/100-2RS -- the 100 means 1 inch -- it also matches up with the 205KDD2 model on this suppliers web page
Deep Groove Ball Bearings - Two Seals

if anyone can confirm that would be hrlpful.. i have not taken the wheel/hub apart yet to validate any of the measurements.....

Definitely stay away from the Chinese garbage.:down: I don't want to have a wheel bearing or a tire fail while going down the road 70+ mph.

Replacing an American made bike piece by piece, why not?

Well, except for my Goldwing, it is about as American as a two wheeler can get. Sure there are parts from overseas (unfortunately and unneccesarily) but when replacing parts I will do my best to replace them with American made parts. Going back to the original post I sadly have to admit (again) that the front bearings from Romania was all good but the American made ones for the rear was a 2 out of 3...... New bearing on its way directly from Timken according to the email I received from them today, so except for a few days of down time it's all good.

My Honda has more American made parts than any Harley produced after 1976, as well as your Big Dog. My truck is a GMC, my American made boat has three American made V8's on it, to get around I operate an American made jet, not getting into my appliances as it has very little merit to this discussion.

And if that wasn't enough, I'm American by choice, not by birth.

Now lets go back to the bearings discussion.

Jesus guys, enough already!

And he's saying he made a choice to become an American which means he was born somewhere else.

Let's stay on topic and stop picking each other apart. :cheers:
