WARNING. New DeDion bearings faulty
Posted: Wed Feb 26, 2020 2:15 am
Recently spent 2 days with the help of a friend trying to figure out the reason why the bearing seized up after the hub and the inner shaft connection was tightened up to spec. It turned out after testing outside of the DeDion mount that inner race clearances are wrong for the correct preload.
This is the FAG brand made in Slovakia number F-805791. DO NOT USE THEM.
If using the FAG brand, the correct part number is 545495 made in Germany.
These are no longer available in Oz hence the problem with the so called equivalent.
