statesman/vestel wm bearings – which way round do they go???

[gandh1]

doign a warranty statesman xt5 bearings, in theory this should have been a doddle, but anyways,

got the “uprated” fag type to fit, originals are imploded so just wondering which way round these new ones fit in the tub…

6205-2RSR = one side has s5 and on the otherside s3

and on the

6204-2RSR = one side has s4 and on the otherside s3

would i be right in thinking the s3 sides face towards the pulley? and the s4/s5 sides face the drum, its just this is my first complete bearing change by myself (i usually normally just use a new rear tub with bearings fitted but statesman dont have any to send out)

Re: statesman/vestel wm bearings – which way round do they g

As long as they’re sealed ball race bearings and not taper rollers, then it doesn’t matter which way round.
Not heard of S3 but C3 is a measure of the clearance. C3 is a larger clearance allowing a bit more wobble.
You can find out all you need to know about bearings and plenty more enough to send you to sleep on the http://www.simplybearings.co.uk website.
