I need to change out my wheel bearings so I can move my Mac to florida. Can someone tell me the number on the bearings inside and outer.
Thanks Ken

Pretty standard Ford hubs, I think the inner is 1-3/16ths, outer is smaller by maybe one-eighth. This is one example where a search would turn up the answer for sure - no doubt.

Ken, you'll find what you need
HERE .
Also, a detailed description of lubrication of the bearings is
HERE
(I used the 'Search' function and looked for 'bearings'.)
And
HERE is a site outside our forum with more information.

Oh, and I just happened to notice, while cruising for other parts, that the well-respected BWY folks list a nice kit of all the needed parts for your job,
