Source new centre bearing for tailshaft?

Featured Replies

Is there a source for new tailshaft centre bearing with mount?

Ball bearing, shielded that is, could be had if you take apart tailshaft first. Just match up to 620x brg.

But without the rubber doughnut to know shape, OD, thickness etc in hand to compare to some other make, I don't know.

Looked at some late 70's early 80's Nissan center supports which are either 30 mm or 35 mm ID. 

Subaru center brg has that steel mount girdle  around it. You'd have to drill out all the spot welds, split it apart to dissect it.

Thinking more along the condition of the rubber mounting of the centre bearing - all one piece from memory?

Yeah, it is one piece but if a one piece center brg isn't readily available then perhaps you could take yours apart.

Then replace the rubber 'doughnut' & brg with something similar from a Nissan product for instance.

Then tack the steel 'girdle' back together - slowly - small tack weld at a time so as not to cook the rubber doughnut.

My plate is full with putting a 73 Chevy K20 truck back together for tow vehicle to move.

IF you find a genuine one, let us know where.
