Ok, oe bearing disected.

Same! Can't see any difference in measurements either.

Kin ell,sorry for doubting you Chris  :-[ :-[ but thats a really odd (and shite!)setup

There does appear to more bluing on the oe. So maybe it's the hardening process that costs the money. But I'd prefer a hub race as part of the hub compared to a pressed in effort for reasons mentioned earlier.

So to sum up, the baring is not pressed in to the hub. The baring IS the hub! They are one and the same.


Pleased with my FAG ones though. No knocks or rattles. No play. ...so far. ;)

I was going to say maybe the OE and the Cont ones are very different, based on MDTM's findings with what came off the MV6 a while ago. But chrisgixer say OE is same.  Sometimes its really hard to tell from the photos, not the same as having it in your hand.

Unless there is an age variance....

Here's the KOYO marked oe one.

Considerably more bluing as you can see. That lip that TB marked in blue earlier is the ledge the seal sits on. Any baring purchased would have to have the seal pressed onto on the stub axle race, and a seal pressed into the hub. By nature, given that lip. The seal would have to be seperate to the baring shell in the hub. If one existed which it clearly doesn't. ...oh sigh.
