The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1950 Car Permanently Lubricated/Sealed Bearings

I just did one on a 20 ton harbor freight press. I cut both the bearing and the retainer ring off with a cutoff wheel. Cut almost through and break off the rest with a chisel. They pressed on easy enough but make sure you press on the inner race. I got timken bearings from Rock Auto. They have the seals too. I do not have part numbers handy.
