Re: Dana 30 front wheel bearings
 

How are you going to make the bearing fit over the spindle? It won't in
my Dana 30.

I gave you the correct part numbers for the bearing and race....

TIME OUT!

Why don't you take the bearings that you have and simply match them up?

Clearly, the inner and outer bearings are different, the inner is larger.
The bearings you have have markings on them that can be used to buy more
bearing sets just like what you already have.

I strongly urge you to not modify the parts that you find because they are
engineered for a very important job. The changes you are considering can
make the bearings out-of-round -- which would be a disaster -- or at least
make them weaker -- which can't be a good thing on the front of your truck.
