Sorry, I have some nice pics but the BB galley won't take them, regardless of the fact that they are jpgs and less than 60kb.
Anyway, using my new bearing press I removed the bearing from one of my spare axles and got the bearing numbers.
The outer bearing cup is number "14276 Bower USA"
The inner bearing cone is number 14132 T Bower USA"
When I asked at the local parts store, they told me that the 1800, 120 and 544 all use the same rear bearing. I assume that this does not apply to the rare rear ends.
In free bearing, the cone looks pretty nice - I might not need to buy a new one. I'm not sure how to tell, but it has no rust and moves freely. The cup has some very light surface rust but would probably shine up well if I took some steel wool to it.
So, how do I use these numbers to track down the proper replacement through a bearing supplier? I imagine that these numbers are not the "standard" bearing number.
Also, how do I tell if this bearing is shot? I have some nice photos that I could share for clarity, if needed.
Thanks for any info
