same one I bought,
Perfect fit!
88 W/T
I have been deep muddin twice since the install, no leaks and no noises,
Great so far.
I replaced my front wheel bearings at the same time as well.
dont forget there is 4 wheelbearing, 2 each side!!
some places I rang up wanted $45 for each bearing not including the seals
I got a mate to buy the kit for me and it only cost $120. tradie rates lol

I hate going to weddings because all the grandma's used to poke me in the ribs saying you're next, you're next. They've stopped doing it since I started doing it to them at funerals.
I just did one of these kits on my zook. I had problems with one of the axle oil seals - which started leaking straight away. This meant pulling the whole thing down again to replace the seal (with a genuine one this time). 
With the new genuine axle seals - no more leaks!
I have done this sort of thing many times before and I am always VERY careful with new seals (grease on the lip and as little pressure on the seal when installing the axle as possible.)
The rest of the kit was a good fit. If I were you I would go and grab 2 new genuine (or as good as you can get from your local bearing bloke) seals and chuck out the eBay ones. For the cost of a $3 seal it's cheap insurance...
I have heard of others with the same problem using the eBay kit too.
Good luck with the job!

now that you mention it the seals that came with that kit did look simpler then the proper Zook ones, but if ya buy the proper zook front bearing kit, it should have the proper seals in it!!Pezooki wrote:I just did one of these kits on my zook.
