bearings
I went on a quest yesterday to find a replacement for the #6004 sprocket hub
bearing.
The Binghamton, NY area is pretty devoid of bearing suppliers. There are
none listed in the yellow pages, in fact the category "bearings" is not even
listed in the yellow pages. I found one place by word of mouth.
I asked for a #6004 bearing with seals both sides. The counter guy punches
in some numbers as I am saying that I don't want any Chinese bearings. He
looks at me and smiles and punches in some more numbers.
He explained that the first bearings that come up in his system are the
cheaper ones and these tend to come from China. If a customer requests
something else, they punch in a code which lists substitute bearings.
He gave me a Fafnir #9104PP bearing which is made in Japan.
The box has the Fafnir, Torrington and Ingersoll-Rand names on it. These
are well known names if you are familiar with the big-iron (heavy industrial
machinery) trade.
There are four different part numbers on the box and one on the bearing but
none of them are 6004 so I asked the guy if this really was the correct
bearing.
He was really nice and got out a spec book and a vernier caliper (yes, I
know how to drive one of those, even the analog ones) and I measured the ID,
OD and thickness of the bearing. It exactly matched the 6004 specs.
And the seals actually seem to seal the bearing since I can't look past the
seals and see the ball bearings.
The bearing cost US$13.50 plus 8% sales tax. Total $14.58.
Happy New Year.

So are the bearings on the rear hub pressed? I finally got all the
parts I need to fix my bike and was going to do it this weekend..

Yes they are.
Don't forget to remove the lock ring next to the bearing in the sprocket
hub.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes they are.
Just done the 250 ones and used Fafnir double sealed bearings for what its
worth.
I tapped mine back in using a drift carefully on the outer race only.
Greased first they go in OK. No brute force needed.

I don't know about that, I had to remove a pair of SKF's in my front
hub and I got them out without injuring them no problem. I just warmed
up the hub with my torch and tink,tink with my drift and they were both
out... Now they had just recently been installed so they hadn't welded
themselves in there, but when I reinstalled them, they got a light coat
of antiseize to further aid their removal after another 50k miles
I have heard of people putting their wheels in the oven at 350 for an
hour and the bearings simply fall out after that... Unfortunately my
oven isn't big enough.
