Title: Urgence!!!
Post by: davidwheeler on 20 August, 2022, 04:49:24 PM
I am in France en route to Lancia Centenary in the VIIth torppedo.   An outer front wheel bearing has failed.  Currently the car is in a garage and I have an hire car.  I have all the tools and can do the job on Monday but I need to know the dimensions and/or the number of the bearing please.    In fact, I think it would be better to replace both since the inner has been under strain, so dimensions/numbers of both please.

Where are you and can I help ??

I have no Lambda data, but if you have a RIV ref I can have a look at what I have on the shelf and get it to you if I can

Only could find Parts book drawing, no RIV numbers listed. And RIV book only went back to Augusta. Someone else will have to help!

I think David was panicking I might not be so quick onto my emails. I was on the way to VSCC Mallory  Park as an official.
Gave him all the sizes he needs  and an SKF number for the outer one.
Couldn't  do the inner number as I had left my SKF book at home  but I think he will be OK. If you want to help him further it is a double thrust single row ballrace, 72 x 35 x 17.

Thanks to all, inner and outer bearings were successfully obtained in Limoges and fitted and lasted the whole way to Turin and back.   Took it easy on the twisties (alas) but made it!
Now doing a propper rebuild with the new intermediate thrust bearings as well.
