Title: Rear wheel bearing cup
Post by: dw1973 on September 21, 2013, 05:55:06 AM: One of my rear wheel bearing cups gave out. I called Wayne for a replacement and the one he sent is different from mine and does not fit. See pics

The first pic shows the new cup next to the one in the hub from the other side. The new cup is too big and not the the same- it is open ended on one side and the other one in the hub has walls on both sides for the bearings to roll against.

That is the correct cup. The outer is the dust shield.

Wondering if I should stock up on cups/dust shields/bearings :-[
