MG MG Y Type - Wheel Bearings

Some time in the recent past I read an article on availabilty of wheel bearings i.e. Supplier and part no.trouble is, I can't remember where it was!

I am looking for replacement front wheel bearings for YA (& while I'm at it rear ones as well) Does any one know where I can find the information that I need please?
Best regards, Dave

Hi Dave,

Have you tried the Octagon CC, they've got the lot.

See image below.

Dave,

further to the last, if you go to the BBS archive type wheel bearings opt for exact match of these words you will find several historical BBS threads which give good advice as always on this forum.

Hi Dave see thread on attached link it has bearing numbers and supplier, cheaper than octagon club and you can get sealed for life bearings.

Sorry Dave the link does not seem to work so I have copied and attached the post I sent hope that helps.


You need the following bearings for the front wheels
6304 deep groove ball bearing size 20x52x15mm
6305 deep groove ball bearing size 25x62x17mm

I fitted sealed bearings which are sealed for life and never need greasing. The being numbers are as follows
6304.2RSR
6305.2RSR
Have a look at http://simplybearings.co.uk

I got mine from them and they delivered next day.
Hope that helps chris

Thanks for the info Chris just what I needed too. On the subject of the internal oil seal that fits inside the screw in ring is the near/left hand ring a left hand thread ? I am having great difficulty in moving it in either direction. Thanks a lot in advance John B
