Default Front wheel bearing

I'm looking to get my hands on a front wheel bearing (just one), working or not. The only thing I need is for the bearing to be complete and intact, inner/bore race, outer race, both bearing cages and covers.

If anyone has one that they are willing to part with, please post or PM.

On the front, the hub itself (the part with the lug studs) forms the "outer" race section. Thus, the bearing is not replaceable separate from the hub.

If it's not totally fux0red, it can be disassembled, cleaned, and re-packed.

I have no idea what you're planning, but it sounds like you need a complete front hub.

My guess is he's trying to scope out measurements for using hubs off another car? just a guess

Oh, I meant to include a link to re-packing instructions: http://waltermotorsports.com/v/Racing/hub/

There seems to be some small variation between hubs of different years, but they're all interchangeable and the procedure is the same for all of them.

So then all I need is the bearing cage and inner race. If anyone has the ID of the inner hub (outer race), please chime in.
