Title: Primary Shaft Bearing
Post by: Valentinik on February 08, 2016, 08:13:10 PM

I'd like to replace the primary shaft bearings in my '77 550k3. They feel a little rough due to the of the amount of water that had contaminated the oil in the engine I imagine.

Can anyone point me in the direct of the correct bearing and where i might find them?

Thanks
Mike

Thanks for the info both. I have removed the bearings today, the end bearing in the case is an NTN item 6205 and the bearing on the shaft is also NTN but has a part number of 63 / 22 A. Would this be the 6322 Bryan mentioned? As they are NTN not koyo, would this be an indication they have been replaced at some point?

Thanks
Mike

Thanks for the info Oddjob.

I emailed hendersons to confirm whether the picture or text was incorrect and they have confirmed it is a bare item and updated the website.
