What is the difference between Ford and Holden bearings?
The outer Ford bearing has an ID of 22mm, whereas the Holden bearing has an ID of 19mm. The larger bearing size increases the maximum load capacity from 1000kg to 1450kg.
What do I need to know about Bearing Marine Seals?
- Marine seals are a tight fit on the axle journal.
- Some installers smear silicone on this journal to keep the rubber seal in the correct place.
- Marine seals rotate inside the stainless metal retaining ring.
- Friction can create heat up to 100 degrees C.
- You must liberally grease this seal around the outside ring of a marine seal. Insert the seal onto the axle, not into the hub.
- A dry or greaseless marine seal causes excess heat.
