rear wheel bearings help

[Bernie Benz]

Geraint,

I’ve never heard of a 44 chassis rear wheel bearing failure, so no BTDT.
But I believe that they use the same bearing F and R in all excepting  
possibly the early 5KQs.
The other diff was that on the 200s they dropped the circlip  
retaining the bearing in the housing as being unnecessary. May  
account for the diff in kit kit numbers. These are all unflanged  
cartridge bearings.
