I've been selling bearings for nearly thirty years. I generally steer clear of automotive as its just too hard to service if your not geared up for that style of market (too hard to get catalogues Etc.) My business is geared around industrial.

Give me a day or so and i'll see what i can come up with. Not real sure if u can replace just the bearing as they are a hub assembly as per yr diagram and u wld normally replace the complete assly.

Tightening the nut on the stub axle will do jack shit as this style of brg has a split inner race that when pulled together sets the preload of the bearing. Not like a trailer set up with tapered roller brgs where you can adjust the preload.

I am very surprised you dont have any noise , if that is the case its probably not going to fall off tomorrow. But keep an eye on it.

If i can get hold of something at the right price u can have it for my cost plus GST and an airbag.

All the same i might c if i can put a list of brgs used in Tritons together and post it for all to use.

See how i go.

Sorry Geek i sent my post from first page (didnt notice the second page) looks like you have it all sorted. Regs steve.

I phoned around today and so far I cannot find non-dealer hubs here in South Africa. Meanwhile I fitted the replacement shaft and put it all together again. Will strip it again when I've found bearings/hubs, be it locally or from Ultimate.

Hi there Zantus try ringing BEARING suppliers and quote part number Koyo 2DUFO5ON-7 hopefully that will get you an aftermarket bearing. In australia we have chinese equivilants available and cheap. What area are u in ? Worse case scenario i can do a fedex to help u out.

Hopes this helps ( save the black Rhino )

Good job Steve :shock: where did you find them? SKF and Bearing Traders both said nup...automotive try Repco (and I didn't tell them it was from a car)?

Hi ag9111,

Koyo is a very large Japanese brg manufacturer and I'm pretty sure you will find that 2DUFO5ON-7 is there part number and the OE number is different ( MR992374 ), I cld be wrong as i haven't rung a dealer.

From the koyo number i have managed to cross it over to 2 alternative brands , there numbers are KIT5156 and PU57000 both are equivilants. ( both available here in ozz im actually carrying stock now )

i thort it wld be Zantus best shot to be chasing around with the koyo no instead of an aftermarket equivilant.

Cheers Steve.

P.s still trying to put a bearing list together gonna be a tuff job nobody want's to let that sorta info out.

Is there any news on this? Has anyone managed to replace the bearings in the sealed hubs?

I have to swap out both front hubs, car has about 75.000 km on it all driven with 33" or 35" inch tires, I am actually quite pleased with the lifespan of the original ones, but it would be nice to have them servicable.

Ag9111,

If you don't mind me asking, what did the OEM hub set you back?

Harro would you know the difference between the MK and ML hubs and if they are interchangeable ?

Or anyone ?

There are free wheeling hubs available for the MK......... Would like to experiment......

My thinking is the free wheeling hubs would reduce wear and perhaps increase fuel economy :?

I do know the MK drive shafts are different too.
You would probably have the change them as well. :roll:
I can't remember if the diff ends are the same but the stub ends are totally different. :roll:

It's a Mitsubishi but not a Triton.
I've had problems on my MN Shogun/Pajero , four NSF bearings in two years normal road use. They look like an identical setup to the Triton. Have found out that it is best to replace the hub carrier at the same time. As it is a damage to the hub carrier that does for the bearing.

There sure was a bit of movement there.

wonder at what service these are due for replacement?

NOTE- the rears are even more critical in a Mitsubishi as they hold the axle in.
if the rear bearings go on a track the rear axle will worm its way out of the housing.
stop every 100m jack up the vehicle- push the axle back in and drive on- if you don't have trail spares (or a flat bed)


HI there, i've been advised my rear bearings are shot @ 115,000km, which I thought was pretty short lifespan considering its 99% highway km's. Has anyone looked at the rear bearings, sounds like the front is sorted with the new a/market hubs..
- are there aftermarket bearings that others could recommend?
- how difficult a job is it to do it yourself (does it require a press/specialist tools?)
- Ive been quoted over $800 (incl 2hrs labour per side) - sounds steep to me...any opinions?

Be really keen to hear from the guys on this thread.
cheers

I have no expertise at all with this (and with most things I post about truth be told :roll: ) but I seem to recall reading that the bearings are hard to remove on the rear. Something about being pressed on or needing heat to remove them? It's a bit of a blur but hopefully one of the guys who has done it will pop in and explain. I just recall it being a real saga for people changing them over, but my recollection is feeling a little shaky today.

Fraz had some issue when he was swapping over his Diff. :?

Alco also had some issues when he had one of his wheels .....ummm fall off.

i think you need a press to get them on and off (and/or heat).
