I am looking at changing the front wheel bearings on my 1961 98. They have a ball bearing and I am looking to change to a roller bearing. My investigating has found that the spindle on a '62 is the same and it uses a roller bearing. I am wondering if I can then use a '62 hub and not have to change any other parts. I know some of you are wondering why. The cost of 1 ball bearing is the same as all 4 roller bearings and the rollers will last longer and are safer in the long run. If any of you guys can help it would be appreciated. THANKS!!
