Gerry, Can you let me know how you get on sourcing rear arm bearings in NZ? Mine need replacing also.

Cheers,
Adrian

Heya fellow Kiwi

driver

Guy I got my BX from up in Jaffaland worked for a Citreon Dealership, he had replaced the wheel bearing s on it so I am taking a guess that he got them quite easily in NZ although not cheap (as always).

Try giving Gary Keith Motors a ring up in Hamilton? They are pretty good got a good rep in the Waikato area.

Hi Kiwi and Adrian, I will do some asking around next week and keep you informed . Adrian depending where you live, Kiwi's info may be helpful, but I will try my usual bearing supplier and see what they have.
Thanks everyone else, armed with the bearing & kit numbers makes it a lot easier to start the search.
Cheers Gerry

You'll find the SKF bearing number is 2400K or some derivative.
I had hells own job tracking them down until I was advised I had to use an authorised SKF dealer.
He denied all knowledge of being able to get car parts (as he is a power tool repairer) but once he tracked it down and it arrived, it had the word "Citroen" in very small print on the end of the box.
Just thought I'd mention that for when they start running you down all the dry gullies.

For you folks in NZ, try Phil at AutoFrance in Manakau City, Auckland (autofrance@xtra.co.nz) - he seems to be able to get parts for most older Cits and is pretty knowledgeable on them.

Cheers Roscoe, yes that was the guy I was trying to think of up in Jaffasville

Theres another one down the the Waikato/Bay of Plenty area somewhere between Hamilton and Tauranga I think Cambridge? Would not happen to know a name for that one?

If you read the small print you'll find that this seller is a "trading arm" of Germs and Swedes....

Thats ironic, since the local GSF isn't the slightest bit interested in selling BX stuff anymore. Unless you want two year old "new" amtex spheres of course

They've come today, thats quick

Hi thanks Roscoe, Autofrance have them, but want $120.00 per side, so I will keep looking for a cheaper source.
Thanks Gerry
