I have a bad front outer wheel bearing on my 70 442. Prob a good idea to change them all out. Are these called "set 2" and "set 6"?
I have always used Timken or National - any other brands reputable?

 

I cannot state positively if (1970) they are Set 2 & Set 6, but I just replaced the inner and outer bearings (last week) on the front of my '71 CS and I used Timken Set2 & Set6.

 

Well I have not busted out all the races and checked numbers but the 11949 outer cone matches the description of a set 2

 

All F85/Cutlass models from 1961 through 1972 model years use the same BR2 (SET2) and BR6 (SET6) front wheel bearings.

 

Awesome thanks - Amazon to the rescue

 

I ordered mine (both SET2 & SET6) from Amazon - arrived in three days.

 

I guess no one is concerned with counterfeit parts on Amazon. I would do Rock Auto. What does SET2 and 6 signify ?

 

The tooling it would take to counterfeit a $10 part would be stupid I would think.

 

Hammer, Set 2 and set 6 are each a roller bearing and cone/race set. Each are a very common "set" or combo that fit many vehicles as are #3's and 5's. Makes it easier to buy the set than use each individual bearing and cone/race long part number.

 

Counterfeit parts from Amazon are a legitimate concern even though it's $10 part.

As others said, I'd use RockAuto or better yet a local parts store with a lifetime warranty.
