hi Charlie

What grade of steel did you use ? Mike

I replaced klonks bearings and seals the other day.

Yes Mike the same as F150 bearings, $27 each ,$6 for the seals, from the local bearing shop.

I also removed the inner seal on the bearing and half filled the cavity between the bearing and axel seal with wheel bearing grease, dont fill the cavity, leave room for air and expansion of the grease. There wasnt alot of grease in the new bearings. They were Japanese ones.

Mild steel - the original one was quite soft, so hopefully it will be OK,

Charlie,

The ones I got from 4 Wheel drives years ago looked like they were hardened. I remember having to polish them up in the lathe where the seal would run.
Cost about $30 each from memory and fitted OK.

Pn 07297 listed here for 18.80GBP Land Rover Parts | LAND ROVER SERIES I PARTS, Genuine and Aternative Parts Series I

My bearings were NTN (Japanese) I have the box somewhere if anyone needs the part number. Basically an off-the-shelf item at most bearing companies.

Yes I bought the same ones but a punch test proved them to be soft; like you I didn't like the roughness of the seal surface, so I polished them in the lathe,
