During a visit to a local branch of Bearing Man, I tried to get information about the availability of SKF part no. 62208 - 2RS1, which could be used as a replacement wheelbearing at the rear axle. I obtained the following information:
As on today's date (26/2/2010) there are only 11 of these bearings (from China) available, countrywide. Price R130.00 each.
Bearing Man also carries stock of KSM part no 62208 - 2RS bearings, with exactly the same dimensions as the above mentioned SKF bearings.
The KSM bearings are from Japan, good quality, and more expensive than SKF. As on today's date, Bearing Man carries stock of only eight of these bearings countrywide. Price R217.97 each.
Bearing Man has already placed an order for 130 of the KSM bearings from Japan. These bearings should arrive in South Africa during April, and will be available countrywide.
Another bearing which could also be used as rear wheelbearing, is NSK part no 66208 DDU - it also has exactly the same dimensions as the above mentioned brands. The NSK bearings are also from Japan, similar quality as KSM, and also sells for R217.97 each.
Unfortunately I do not have any information about the current availability of the NSK bearings.
Regards
Danie
