Can anyone advise me of the bearing I’d numbers for both inner and outer fronts on a Rover p6. Preferably SKF or TIMKIN, thanks, Bert Turnbull Wanaka, New Zealand.
Hi, I have just replaced my front wheel bearings on my P6 S, for those who require info, I was able to get TIMKIN set 2 LM11949/10, set 6 LM67048/10, seal Is BI 43945, hope this is of assistance, Bert Turnbull, Wanaka, NZ.The challenge now is sourcing the oil seals, which are hard to come by.
When I replaced my Rover's original bearings in 1989 at 71,095 miles (113,750km) with British made Timkin bearings, the Castrol advisor that I spoke to in Sydney strongly advised me not to use HTB, and that I should use EPL2 instead. I took his advice and have never regretted it. Those bearings with EPL2 have been running for 34 years this year and have covered 355,905 miles (569,450km). They remain smooth and silent.
I tigten the adjustment nut then rock the wheel at the 12 o'clock position. I adjust until there is just a twizzle of end float. My father taught me to do this when I was a child, and I have always done so. Then fit the castellated piece and split pin.
