The COMMERCIAL part cross reference to ALL military bearings has been solved
for over 40 years. You just simply take the joint, wheel bearing, seal,
steering wheel bearing and anything else with balls or rollers (no jokes
guys) to your local "Bearing Supply" or "Drive Line" repair shop. They can
match up any bearing in the world. I have done it over a hundred times in
the last 35 years or so. Look them up in the yellow pages-----guys---DO NOT
GO TO NAPA. The prices are out of sight. Gene
