Im having trouble getting hold of the gear to rebuild the front end of my diff , Im after axle seals scraper seal, the new felts backing plates, wheel bearings locking washer that goes between the two nuts that hold the wheel bearings in .... I suppose you get my drift....?

Suzuki Sierra WT diffs roughly of a 92 model

I heard a Forum member on here does Suzuki Spare parts or works in this industry does anyone know who...?

Anyway I found a whole rebuild kit from the states, but I would prefer to go local as in Aus if the costs are competitive or close enough as long as all the bits I need can be supplied, If anyone has a business they can recommend or who they have gone through please let me know, as long as they are happy to send the parts up to me...........?


This complete kit includes all wheel bearings, kingpin bearings, seals, and gaskets to rebuild BOTH sides of your front axle housing

Item #FER-300 Price $199.00
Roughly converted with current rate works out at about Aus $221 then cost of freight which wouldn't be much through UPS

Allied Bearings and Seals in Nerang do a kit for these. They supply to One Stop Suzi Shop and I have bought a couple from them in the past.

Sorry for digging up an old topic, but better than starting a-new

I'm currently in the middle of close to a total rebuild of my rear diff...

I've picked up some bearings from repco and it doesnt look right, and i just want to confirm before i return them or if i have the wrong idea, they have the same part number as above. WBK 2613 these are the front bearings arent they?

Thanks

Adam

Yes
but can put your new ones on by getting a length of pipe.just make sure that it the same size as the collet, and you need a block of wood for your axle, to sit on while you drive the bearing and collect on. you can take your old one off by grinding the collet off.Then you grab the backing plate and hit the axle on the timber to it comes off.excuse the spelling mistakes

Sorry for the dig and I'm not nit picking, but I'm pretty sure that marine grease isn't rated for use in wheelbearings fitted with disc brakes.

I've seen that recommendation on every tub of marine grease I've ever seen.
