Tire size, bearings & brakes Questions.

Inner and outer were the same: SKF501349 for the bearing and 501310 for the race. A SKF 21159 seal will also be appropriate.



If the Jeep has not had a good going over for a while, I would suggest doing the upper and lower kingpin bearings while you are at it. A much bigger job, but it makes a world of difference on the steering.

As to oversize tires, guys have been putting oversized tires on Jeeps for the last 75 years. The 7.50 size will not make a big difference, although the brakes on the Cdn2 series are still marginal, especially compared to the brakes on the CDN3 series. I assume you have been looking at the tires from militarytires.ca . Quite frankly, it would not be that much more expensive to order the proper size from a place like summit racing, who offer free shipping to the border, and bring them across yourself.
