Wheel bearings

[Yalankelo]

Hi all,
I have been advised by my MOT man to place my wheel bearings on the rear of my FD. He wasn't able to get hold of any. Where would you recommend getting them from??
While I am there grabbing a set of fronts would be great as well if possible.
Cheers.

Mazda sells them, the fronts are expensive, but the rears are not too bad. You'll be able to find cheaper OE equivalents with the part numbers below too.

Rear: J00126151
Front: GA5S2615XA

That part number might be useful, my local factors got the wrong ones ininitially as someone has listed the sizes as for an FC. But they managed to get some in the end had to give them the dimensions of it.

Bit of a pig of a job, needs a press for sure.

Fronts are easy.

Thought I needed a press so thank you for the confirmation. Part numbers worked a dream to find a few suppliers. Probably go for OE equivalents for now and see how they survive.

make sure you get a 83mm OD, 45mm ID, 45mm Width

e.g this one is wrong: https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/...29c4c0f5dcfed02cac9c9834cf083526602ec3&000370

I found it pretty difficult to find the right one

I made the mistake of getting the Euro ones too. I ended up getting my bearings from j-auto in the states.

It's like someone has gone out of their way to list all the parts wrong on ECP. The discs are wrong too

 

[Yalankelo]

@JoeLanger should it be 80 od, 42 id, 45 width?? All the ones I can find fit that spec. Hmm.

 

[JoeLanger]

Pretty sure it was 83mm

That was the problem I was having every place listed them as 80mm but it's not

Ended up taking a punt with these: https://m.onlinecarparts.co.uk/optimal-2015688.html
They are definitely the right size as I have just checked them. Next to see how well they last. Got a set of fronts as well so can do all corners while I am at it.
