Hi All

I’m rebuilding the axle in my RK.  The diff carrier bearings on the axle are SKF RLS 10 , (withMTLD stamped on the inner race). 

I don’t think these are angular contact thrust bearings.  Can anyone confirm?

Cheers

Howard

Howard, that number is for ordinary ball bearings, not AC.

I think the bearings you have are correct for 1923-28 axles (also known as LJ 1 1'/4") - shim adjusted side tube.

Hi Ruairidh 

Thanks I know the RK needs angular contacts. I guess the previous owner might have either got the wrong info or couldn’t afford the right bearings!

Never mind I can use them in the hubs  Big Grin.

Cheers

I wonder how long been used? Tony Press can provide relative thrust ratings. ""Modern"" bearings are rated much higher than in 1920s. For moderate use maybe just turn around and reuse!
