Ford cortina bearing sizes
Mr Whippy - 24/2/11 at 11:06 PM

Hi,

Well after several hours fighting with this axle I got the half shafts off and the wheel bearings are shot (

That's 6 rear wheel bearings knackered must be a record

Slight problem is I can't read the code on any off them so don't know what the part number is

Did buy a set only to find the OD too small, damn all these blasted size and axle types

Does anyone have a list of codes for ford rear axle bearings? obviously I can measure the ones I have to check against something, the ID is 30mm & OD is 67mm btw on the bearings I need, mk 4 1600 axle I believe

Can anyone help??

Thanks

Most 1600 mk4 had the 2 litre style axle very few had the lighter duty axle also used on the 1300.

I think the axles I have are the lighter style tbh, they don't have the Altas diff in them. Just can't find a table that shows the sizes rather than just a heap of part numbers

Cheers

Sorted

Good old Autosave had the sizes! so checked against their tables and sure enough it's a Mk4 1600 bearing
