I think SKF, but these days I'm not sure.

Koyo bought all the Timkin tooling in 2011. Bearings still come in a Timkin box but most are marked Koyo or made in China on the bearing. It SUCKS.

Now that's just sick! What good bearings are made in the USA now?

Timkin bearings haven't been made in the USA for quite a few years...

My dad would chew me out if I used anything but Timken bearings.

Been there on the 8 inch that is in my 55 now,had to request good bearings the second time.



Butchering up everything I can get my hands on in Dayton Ohio

Look for bearings made in the USA for durability. The China garbage won't last very long, been there done that by accident by letting someone else do it and 20,000 miles later had to do it again.

I did the rear bearing in my 57 last week, plus brakes, good thing i did the brakes, found the front bearing were bad too. I had the rear bearing pressed by a local shop , cost me $25 plus the cost of the bearing.

I am with Aussiebil, did you forget the retainer plates; or like other people have asked, and they are very knowledgeable people, are you using a split retainer?
