Hi all,

Have a set of V12's and need to replace the bearings which are the sealed type.
I found a similar set on ebay but are sealed RUBBER ones not metal. Do you think this would be ok?

Kind regards,

    Mmm

    they used to run RS bearings but they were another size. 608RS so I donr see why not. the only issue will be greasing them. you will not be able to pass grease through them.

    Thanks for reply,

    I don't mind taking the axle out in need of greasing. In fact I thought this was standard anyway, do you mean I could of just greased the top of bearing before?
