Spoiler bearing

I just got the bearing needed to repair the noisy spoiler. Reading previous posts, it appears that 625-2RS bearing is spec'd. For some reason I expected a larger bearing. What I got is less than 1" in diameter. Does that sound right?

Yes. It will be self explanatory when you take it apart.

Mike,
That's correct. I've rebuilt numerous spoiler gearboxes so I keep a supply of these sealed bearings on hand.

Thanks, guys!

I've looked again at the pics and realized that, yes, that's a tiny little bearing. For some reason i expected something larger. We'll get to it in the spring or let my indie address the pressing in and out when he has the car for the winter for engine-out re-seal.
