I need to change my driveshaft bearings, but don't want to pay $38 for a $6 bearing, so I was looking in dennis kirk and it says the driveshaft bearing is a 6204-2rs, but it doesn't have the collar on it - it's a straight bearing. anyone have a better number than this that I can go to the bearing house with?
 

Clutch side is a NTN UB205 series (has a collar) and the chain case side is a 6205, 2RS (no collar).
 
Although I did not double check Yamerdown's numbers above, they look right. If you remove the bearings, any reputable bearing house can match them up. You can also usually read the number on the bearing itself. Although different manufacturers use different prefixes and suffixes, the basic numbering is mostly the same.

Or, you could do what I do . . .

Waste countless hours on the internet researching bearing identification and numbering (and lettering) schemes. You can even learn all about the load ratings and seal or shield materials, and how certain specs call for increased tolerance between the balls and races to provide a wider range of tempurature usage. Be sure to learn about axial load, radial load, chamfer, tapered bore, speed rating, reliability factors, dynamic load, static load, linear fluctuating load . . .

Ok, don't do that . . .

Nevermind.

Been there - done that.

thanks Yamerdown - that's what I needed.

Johnny, it's me, your cousin Ernie. Apparently we surf the net the same way. Ever done a search on snow making guns??? They're pretty easy to make and all the info is right there inside Google. Maybe we can make enough to bury your Viper?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry, now back to our regular program.
