Hi Guys

I am starting to refurb the cortina hubs. I have just revieved my second set of brand new bearings that also don't match the hubs. Does anyone know the correct bearings for a MKIV / MKV cortina front hub?

Greg.

Check this threadbearing spec fron QH catalogue

If I get time tomorrow I will look in the old Timken application book I have and get you the part numbers.

I'm an idiot!!! I was trying to fit the new bearings in without taking out the old external part of the bearing (shell). It's kinda difficult to put in new ones unless you take out all of the old one first, I guess.

Sorry guys....

If you are lucky you will be able to read the part numbers off the original bearings, alternatively take them along to a bearing distributor and they should be able to identify them.

Cortina front wheel bearings are:
Inner bearing - 1988/1992
Outer bearing - LM11949/910

First part of the part number refers to the cone (the part with the rollers) the second part is the cup (the bit you forgot to take out!).

don't forget to remove the outer race of the old bearing

Thanks guys for all your input. First hub rebuilt and painted. Pics to follow as soon as I get my camera back.

It was nice actually building something instead of taking something apart. Makes a change.
