Default 200 degrees for rear upright okay?

I need to bake the VHT to near 200degrees, but I managed to do it in the wrong order without thinking and put the bearing in the upright first before painting. Stupid, I know.

Can I still bake the upright or will that make the grease dry up or fall out?

Bearing is the au0919-6lxl/l669

I am thinking that since they may operate at 150, that it may be okay to bake at 170 or so.

Check the bearing manufacturer.. usually the bearing supplier lists the safe temperature to heat them up to for installing tight tolerance items. e.g. I used some 6203 bearings recently which said if necessary, heat to 90 degrees C using indirect heat (i.e. no touching flame/element).

Is this a 928 wheel bearing? Or some other car? (curious, as it appears to match to Porsche part no 999 053 055 02).

edit: doh.. its the superseded number for our 928 wheel bearing. cheaper than I recall it being a couple of years ago tho? (was $110ish last time I put them on a shopping list?)

From our guys usually about 100 bucks.

Yes - I was looking for those specs. 90c would be great, but these have pastic carriers for the two rows of ball bearings.

Yes - Rear Wheel Bearing for 928.
