I have David, but not for a good few years, so any 'tips' greatly appreciated.

It looks like they only had the ONE PAIR :(

Is this link any good @ £62.18 a pair (£31.09 a side) not much less than the /\ price though ?

It was £4 posted I think for a couple of seals though, so certainly a cheaper way to do the job.
No need to wait for Jay chaps :wink:

As it was me, that initially posted up the bearing number TIMKEN JL22349F, heres another thread which may be of use Bearing X REF. !


EDIT:- Just found a 'Timken JL22349F' on E-bay with Free postage for only £5.90 !

Click on diagram for link :wink:

Spotted on E-bay/GSF SEALS £4.49 each and BEARINGS £12 each + £2.95 postage on top (for either items) which is strange as most of GSF's E-bay listing were with Free delivery :?

Therefore the bearing (From Lithuania) still far cheaper @ £5.90 inclusive of delivery and a 'Timken' brand too !

This recent E-BAY listing for a pair sold for £60+£6 for postage !

Image

So if any one missed them and are looking for a single unit or pair heres some more, BUT be AWARE you'll need a pair of bearings to make a Complete kit up !

The Rear Radius arm repair 'Spindle kit' (Excluding the Taper Roller Bearings) are £14.99 with free postage !
Image

+ A pair (For one-side) of the 'Timken JL22349F' on E-bay with Free postage for only £5.90 x 2 = £11.80 !
Image

Click on images for links :wink:

So summing up the /\ option that's £26.79 per side or £53.58 for a pair which is very reasonable IMHO !

As you can see very limited number of the 'Spindle kits' available !

Good luck if you secure them !

:)
