Wheel Bearings for 1250
I picked up a set of sealed bearings for the front from NAPA, part #7-04292. I tried one on the spindle which slid on easily but with no slop and then tried it in the wheel. The outside pressed in easily by hand and the inside seemed like it would go in with a lite tap with a hammer. Seems too loose, considering I had to drive the originals out with a punch. Also, I had a heck of a time getting the wheels off using a pry bar between the knuckle and wheel hub and hitting the end of the spindle then finishing up with a 2x4 smacked with a single jack on the backside of the wheel. So it was nice to see the new bearing slide onto the spindle.
Did I get the wrong bearing?. Is there a different NAPA bearing that will be a press fit into the wheel? I guess this is what happens when you buy Cub parts local.
Thanks
