One of my '67 Plymouth Furys needs a rear wheel bearing. I am referring to the bearing on the flange end of the axle. I seem to remember that you used to be able to purchase a kit that included the bearing, both seals, the retainer ring and some even included the metal plate that is fastened to the axle housing. Does anyone know where I can find one of these kits? Also are the bearings the same on both sides? It is an 8 3/4 rear end. Thanks for any help.

In addition to Randy's and Dr Diff, a parts store can get the bearings and seals in a day or two if not in stock. Autozone sells Timken.

The kit you are looking for has not been available for years , you can buy the bearing and seals , you can pull the old bearing by taking it apart and not ruin the retaining plate , it takes some work .

pretty sure the bearings are the same but the pass retainer plate is threaded for adjusting the play. yes contact the Doc
