Rock Salt Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hello everyone. I have bought a Sankey wide track trailer that has been converted to an expedition trailer tent but I want to replace the outer bearings and wheel studs as they are all rather worn. I have bought some bearings from MM4x4 in Droitwich who have told me that they are the same as a series Land Rover (is this true? they certainly look the same) But does anyone know where the best place I could get new wheel studs from? Also what would be the best grease to use when packing the new bearings in? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated as I want this Sankey to be well looked after. My Wife and I and our young Son are planning a big trip round Europe next year in our Land Rover Defender towing the Sankey expedition trailer as our accommodation- so I really want the trailer to be in top notch condition. Many thanks in advance Kind regards Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ok Mr Salt you have a FV2381, but can you define which Mk you have? Or give the NSN, Asset Code or contract to pin it down precisely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisg Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Have you got the numbers on the bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Salt Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ok Mr Salt you have a FV2381, but can you define which Mk you have? Or give the NSN, Asset Code or contract to pin it down precisely. Thank you Mr Elliot for your reply. I have had a look at the plate and it reads as follows: Trailer Cargo, 3/4 Ton 2 WH Sankey No. V236 Vehicle No. 24 GB 24 CES No. 33984 Chassis No. 451 Code No. 2855 0790 And the plate on the body reads: Assembly No. FV.746810 I hope this pins it down precisely. Thanks again Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Rock Yes the Asset Code 2855 0790 pins it down. "No. V236" should read FV2361, so this is not a wide track which would be FV2381 Your bearing is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 That NSN equates to a number of part numbers & sources: 16D3119 - RAF part no for MT roller bearings 217269 - Land Rover 359S354A - British Timken 359S354X - British Timken GHB162 - Rover K359SK354A - SKF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/20121/9501057-WHEEL-HUB-BEARING.html?search=9501057&page=1 ---- ISTR the Legacy is going back to "Narrow Track" Rubery Owen days and commonality with Austin FV.1800 Champ hubs & drum brakes , not Land Rover ,,. However it does X ref. with Rover & Unipart No. http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/10629/RTC3416-INNER-HUB-BEARING.html?search=217269&page=1 Obviously Timken or SKF , not Chinese for regular hard & overloaded use. Rather than a LM type grease for packing - I would probably use a better Rocol product Edited August 22, 2012 by ruxy amd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wheel hub studs ?? There was a Widetrack pdf. Parts List for all Mk. on the Leo Mocce website , bit of an annoyance what ! Removed - his site has been taken off server for USA infringements - seems ripping off & listing for free to many publishing info. copyrite others.

Brewstop Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Wheel bearings for an FV2381 MkIII are they a single bearing or an inner or an outer? Also, are there any other civilian part number bits for the braking system such as discs and pads?
