Does anyone know the numbers for a 87 5KSQ? Bearing numbers that is, it would be
a four digit number stamped on the bearing, like 6415 (it won't be close to that
though), it also might have a c3, c4 or something else like that after it.
That's the internal clearnace designation, unless it is standard, than it won't
have anything.

I'll see if I can dig up some bearing info and post it to the list on the type
and numbering system.
