Review on WJB WBRP5707 Bearing Reference National by Jeff Morris

Revainrating 1 out of 5

These things are absolute junk, as the price shows.

Well I can't give a "ZERO" rating. I bought it to save money but it ended up costing me more. This bearing is a cylindrical cup with two internal snap rings. Circlips keep the reels in place in their fragile plastic track. There are 2 seals, 1 inner to hold 90w oil, 1 outer to lubricate the rollers. Too bad WJB ships these bearings IRON DRY as there is absolutely no lubrication on the rollers. I hand boxed, installed and replaced the howl bearings within 6 weeks of a complete overhaul of my rear axle. The attachment to the axle was EXTREMELY tight. Trying to remove them with a bearing puller is useless. It just pulls out the seals and rollers and leaves the hardened bearing cup stuck in your axle maybe only .030-.040" for the bearing puller to try to bite into it. NO! Now I'm stuck trying to remove 2 hardened bearing cups. Press fit approx 0.007-0.009 burn time I will NEVER use a WJB bearing again NOTHING.

Pros
  • Noise reduction for smoother operation
Cons
  • Nothing
