    Need some help. :? Can anyone tell me what the part numbers are for the Knuckle Bearings and the Hub Bearings on my 59 cj with out taking it apart at this time. I'm gathering parts to do a disc brake swap and it would be nice to have it all before I take it apart. Looking for NAPA, Schucks, Autozone or maybe Timken Numbers. There is a bearing supply store near by.
    I will post all of the part numbers when I get done. Some of the numbers in the Disc Brake swap tech section are no longer useable numbers.
    I will take what ever you have and cross it into the lastest and greatest. :rofl:
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure if your 59' and my 71' are the same.
    If you are doing the disc swap you may need 2 different wheel bearing races. I used Bearing LM501349, Outer Race LM 501310, Inner Race LM 501311. The 1311 is a little thicker and may help line up the caliper with the rotor. If you use the thicker race get the Natioanl Inner Seal 84305.

    All good info and correct except the proper National seal # is 8430S, not 05. Honest mistake easily made.:beer: Nickmil
