Bearing help on 30 from 79 CJ7

A little OT but it is on my 68 CJ5.

Okay, the axle is not from an Early CJ but I am getting desperate. Anyone able to help me out with this? This axle is from my 79 CJ7.

I need to find a replacement bearing for my axle. 30 Front from 1979 Jeep CJ7. Right side the bearing from the bottom of the hub cup to the spindle.

Part number Torrington Y-246, changed to part number B-246 which was discontinued in 1996. I have tried local suppliers, INA and Timkin, and sent a few web queries to other companies. No one can find this bearing.

Sizes
Bore 1.5"
OD 1.875"
Width 3/8"

Torrington does stock one that is 1/2 wide, but will that work? It is 1/8" too wide. B248.

Sureley there is a source out there for this bearing. I guess it is difficult because this had Quadratrac and PO added Warn hubs to front and part time to Xfer case. So maybe that is why I am having trouble.

Anyone have an idea on a source to get this? Or will that bearing that is 1/8" larger work?

 

don't know why you are having difficulty
standard spindle bearing, no diff between Q-trac or part time
used on D44s FSJ models also
I believe 1972-1986 CJ D30 would be the year ranges for this bearing
the Jeep p/n is J8127356, includes bearing,seal and washer
try 4wd.com or any other Jeep supplier

 

No it goes inbetween the Warn hub housing and the spindle. Already replaced the other bearings Inside the spindle.

 

okay
so it's the locking hub bearing, correct?

 

If this is not part of the original spindle as in under the lock washers and nuts, call Warn, cause this is not part of the factory spindle.

 

I did call Warn. I was told that they sell no serviceable parts on Hubs. Nada. They could not recommend anyone as a source for this part.

I guess its hard because it was not original part. PO added part time hubs (Warn) I guess that these were done in the past for the Quadratrac xfer case to eliminate full time 4wd.

 

prob a model 195 hub
most of the newer hubs use plastic bearings now
is it a 6 bolt hub?

 

Yes 6 bolt hub. There is no model number on hub I can see just copyright info.

 

Got it done. I ended up using the old ones. Had to crawl around on the floor with a magnet until I found all the old pins. Luckily found them all.

This bearing does not have an inner race to keep the pins in. It is part of the locking hub that connects the locking hub to the spindle. I can provide pics if anyone is interested.

 

sure, we all want pics
might help someone else out

 

Got the pics on my laptop. I will be out of town for the weekend. I will post them next week.

 

just an update that might help someone.
Herm told me he has a replacement bearing for the Torrington Y-246 bearing used in Warn locking hubs, early design.
Cost as of today: $7.00 ea, 2 x $7.00 = $14.00 + $6.00 shipping.
FYI

 

Anyone know the replacement part number for the y-246 bearing and where to get them? I need a set.
Thanks.
