Anyone near Bristol that can help?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

There is a bearing supplier in brislington that will probably have some on the shelf, but you will need to tell them the exact size you require.

Or i got my last set from kingswood auto part. They can normally get them in a few hours.

Or GSF car parts might stock them

Any local motor factors should sell kits.

If you aren't having any luck I have a few spare hubs with good bearings in so it would just be a case of picking one up from me, will also save you knocking out the old bearings and refitting, as it happens I'll be in bath at work and in bath all evening so could even bring it in with me.

I'll throw it in the car just in case, you'll need a 50mm socket, 10mm and 12mm (possibly a 13 if they have used non standard calliper mount bolts) and 19mm, some opening circlip pliers and a flathead screwdriver/small pry bar to fold the locking tabs on the bearing nuts.

Thanks all, Again!!

I ordered a new complete kit from Jimnybits on a fast delivery.

Hi Scottie, I think I am going to go for this SJ and pick it up Saturday. It will need a new stub axle as the guy has butchered the threads getting it on/off. I have ordered a bearing kit, I think the is all it needs. Do you have a stub axle in your spares stock and what would something like that cost me?

Cheers
