I think there are two bearing sizes. A large bearing and a small bearing. Didnt he have two listed and ask you which you needed? I dont remember the sizes but I think there are two different ones.

hmm, ok guys chime in on this one. I'm stumped now.

A small bearing housing can be differentiated from a large bearing housing by the size of the nuts and thread used to retain the brake backing plates to the housing. The small bearing housings use 9/16" socket size nuts with 3/8â€Â

Well thing got bad, One axel shaft is a 1.531 the other is the 1.625. The shaft broke and someone welded it back (not a good job) so I started to look for a axel. That is why i have a freek axel. Thanks for the leank but i don't want a jerry riged axel. Lots of trucks in the NW. Lucky me.
