Pete (the box slayer) rebuild

Aww look at the little thing lay in that cardboard box poor homeless thing. Soon it will be wipped off its feet and stuffed in a dark cell ready to be pounded by its new owner. It wont take long to break it tho Pete is a master torturer!

Jinx me and I'll hunt you down

Im sure it will be fine this time round neil has done hes upmost to make sure everything is as good as possible from cleanliness to fine measurements rather than slapping it together i think you would be hard pushed to find someone else that would be that anal about it all ..... if you break it i would seriously consider selling up and getting a pushbike lol ....

diff bearing can be sourced from a bearing shop, exact same as oem but cheaper , 20th not too long a wait though. only 2 bearings need be from nissan for box .

Not these ones,
They're unique to Nissan.
Bearing number is ET-CR-1271ST if anyone can have better luck?

However myself and Pete discussed sourcing a taper roller bearing based on the overall bearing dimensions eg ID=60mm, OD=87mm and width=20mm
These are NOT DIN or ISO standard dimensions, even NTN don't show anything;
http://www.ntnglobal.com/tool/search/list.php?cat=tapered_roller_metric_brgs&lang=en_US
but a contact of his managed to locate something that might have fitted.

My problem was the following?
is the taper angle and cage size the same so it wont foul anything?
Is the capacity (strength) as good as stock?

So, I think Pete made the right decision to wait a bit longer and get the proper bearing.

Yep, we've come this far and waited this long, there's no point in even taking a slight risk with it! And yes nomad if I do do the unthinkable then it will be game over for me I'm afraid

They listed in ntn japan catalogue, bearing retailers here have them in at least 2 brands.
Main dealer not to long a wait so not big concern & indeed better than risking a wrong bearing oor poor quality .

Any chance you could have a look at the numbers and see if they match Johnny?

No way?
Could you find out how much the NTN bearing will be and if it's available now?
If it could be shipped here sooner then the 20th then Pete might be able to make the Coombe show

You don't have Anglia bearing company or something similar?? I could swear that I've replaced diff bearings on my mates car few years back. I've just took old bearing to my local gearbox specialist and had exactly the same bearing next day...
