NAPA prt # PR1559TV



Does this look like what you need?

my originals had 16 bearings... I think my napa replacements had the same... (had to count them when the bearing exploded on removal, needed to insure that they weren't in the axle!

update on napa bearings. i just bought a set of the rear wheel bearings and they do have the 16 rollers in them BUT there china bearings. oh well guess its better than the large 13 roller bearings so i they go.

Update: PR1559TV now has 15 rollers! I ended up taking apart and cleaning the original 16 roller bearings.
