Description
Master Wheel Bearing Install Kit, Works on 68 ½ and Newer Bug, Super Beetle, Ghia, Thing, and Type 3, and also on Front Disc Conversion for 1949-1965 Bug & Ghia. Sold as a kit.
This master kit gives you all the parts listed below in one convenient parts number. This will work with stock drums, rotors and new disc brake kits!
This wheel bearing install kit is also the perfect kit to buy when you are installing a lowered disc brake spindle or complete disc brake conversion kit onto a 1949-1965 Bug/Ghia when the spindles used have a late ball joint spindle point, which is different from the stock link pin bearing point.
Please know that this kit has inner wheel bearings and grease seals that will not work on ball joint spindles on 1966-1968. If you have these early spindles, please order kit #498490EM.
We recommend that you confirm if you have early ball joint spindles (1966-1968) or late ball joint spindles (1968 ½-1977) before buying this kit. We find that spindles have been interchanged on cars all the time! To identify what’s on your vehicle, please check out our blog article with photos and instructions to help you confirm what you have.
Kit includes:
• (2) Inner Wheel Bearings
• (2) Outer Wheel Bearings
• (2) Thrust Washers
• (2) Spindle Nuts
• (2) Grease Caps
• (2) Grease Seals
Note: Due to the interchangeability of parts on a VW, it is the sole responsibility of the buyer to make sure they are buying the correct parts for their car. So Cal imports will not be responsible for shipping costs for wrong-ordered parts. If you are unsure or what you need, PLEASE call us before you buy to confirm what your needs are.
