Hey beddie brethren wheres the best place to get beddie wheel bearings from? and best price ? thanks .... Eddy

every now and then i see them on ebay.com.uk , but having bought two from separate people and one not being a bedford bearing i was not thrilled - but if you pay by paypal you could probably get your money back.
front are easy if you've done a holden disc conversion, any bearing shop and cheap

nah JW told me last tim ei was talking to me the cheapest rear wheel bearings he could find was $250.. which is more expensive than what i can get them for????
i was doing some research last week on using a different bearing very similar. but one bloke never rang me back and i forgot.. will get back to him cause it needs to be done. we cant afford to pay $500 for 2 rear wheel bearings!!!!!

I just went to a Bearings/oil seal Wholesaler in Sunshine and they measured them and got them off the shelf! $20 each! That's for the front hub bearings (Bedford stub axle, holden machined rotor).
What I've learnt: DON'T go to any other place than a bearings wholesaler, you'll never get it. And DON'T say it's from a Bedford! Just say I want a replacement of these. (this is for ANYTHING Bedford!) They'll measure them and replace them. otherwise they'll be going through all of their books looking for Bedford things, never finding them and wasting your time.

yep I agree with Rothu, + there all soo different(Beddies) just remove the old and get them replaced, I also have kept a Log/all receipts and part numbers so you can soughta get organized when you need them ;)

great tips and advice boyz ;D

When i was racing Supermods in Speedway we were running early Holden front stub axles with Ford hubs which we bought brand new complete with new bearings for $36 ea hub. We bought them from Statewide bearing Service.So for Bearings it pays to go to the supplier, but as mentioned above some times it's better not to let them know exactly what the bearings were originaly fitted to.We have found the same thing ourselves before let them measure them up and match a bearing set for you. ;) ;) ;)
