Hello, there will be information on bearing size in your Coromal van handbook, failing that perhaps a phonecall to your local Coromal dealer or to manufacturer in Perth, they have been quite helpful to me in the past, cheers Bill

Depending on suspension and wheel size there are probably vaious bearing sizes for different models and layouts. Try a Coromal dealer or pull out a set and take it to your local bearing supplier, they'll have quality bearing & seal kits available off the shelf at probably a lower price. Ozjohn.

Not being a smartarse but with trailers (that includes vans), the only way is to pull them out and read the number off the 2 parts to the bearing, known as the cup and cone. Once you have the numbers record them and write them inside a cubaord cheers blaze

Good idea - I've done that in the past but never actually bought new ones. Question: is it necessary to have the number of the cup as well as the cone - I thought the cone was all that was needed as cup and cone came as a set.?
I've never written down the cone number from the inner bearings because you need to remove and possibly damage the oil seal to locate the number. Is there an easy foolproof method to remove the seal?

should replace the seal ever time the unit is dismantled, is it done all the time- no. That I suppose is the benifit of grease filled hubs over oil filled. More common to use a MILD STEEL PUNCH and tap the inner part of the cone (bearing) against the seal and 90% of the time they pop out undamaged. Grease is very tolerant to poor quality/worn seals.

As long as you have the number (Or sample) of the cone (Part with rollers) it will be OK. The Cup and Cone are packaged as a set and the new cup should always be fitted when installing a new cone. Ozjohn.

For the price of a new seal about $5.00 each worth putting in new ones

Hi i pulled mine out of the hub took them to a bearigs dealer and put them in myself, also if you have electric brakes check and replace the brake pads if needed, good luck.
