Hello, New guy here. I did a search and found 2 posts, but I need more info.

I am replacing my driveshaft center support bearing.
What is the proper orientation of the slingers, spacer, and bearing?
Which way does the bearing face in relation to the transmission?

The replacement bearing is different than the OEM.
The replacement is a Timken bearing part# HB88107A.
The OEM bearing was really destroyed and I just have the outer slingers left, the bigger/front slinger is still attached to the driveshaft.
I can't believe that it didn't make more noise than it did.
Pictures would be great.

Thanks.
Dan

 

It will only fit one way...they are not reversable if i remember right.....its been a while though

 

Thanks for the reply.

Which side of the bearing faces forward?
The rubber flat side or the rubber ribbed side?
Does the spacer go on before the bearing gets pressed on or after the bearing gets pressed on?

All the carrier bearings I have ever replaced have been one piece u just unbolted the strap and put the new assembly in and bolted it back up.....never had to press any bearings......but its been quite a few years also

 

Yesterday I used a puller to remove the pressed on bearing from the drive shaft.
I was on pretty tight.

 

HMMMM...its been SEVERAL years since I have messed with one......I dont think it really matters which way it goes
