First Try:
Second Try
Seems like we have a few winners. ATV bearing? NICE!
Sealed or shielded?
Does it really matter? Nothing gets in there, but it IS hot in there I can assume:
Maybe buy a couple of these:
basic bearings
Makes me want to do the 78 as well.
Especially since Jager has these (inserts that go between the bearing and the TT shaft - they break)

Now stuff like this is where a bulk buy is in order! The price goes down enormously in volume with bearings. Like $5 for 1, to $2 each for 10, to $1 each for 50 - dont quote me on this particular brg, but thats the scale of how it can work. My wrench buys 6202s for various uses in volume for pennies almost.

I just thought it was interesting that Ebay has them. I like ebay when it provides interesting things I need to buy.

The job can take 2 hours ot 6 hours depending on the tightness of those bearing supports in the tube. The write-ups that exist currently are pretty much spot on. You jyst have to think outside the box sometimes to do it quicker.

Well, I installed them in the carriers tonight with the original inner bushing things. They were really in good shape. I assume the 78s will not be. They are NTNs.
