Chrysler front wheel bearing

[marbeton]

My 1925 Chrysler 58 has a damaged outer tapered roller bearing on the front wheel. The Chrysler parts catalog contains the following information:

Outer bearing cone 10591
outer bearing roller 10596 and

outer bearing cup 10592.

Only cone and roller are damaged. Do you know what the new designation for this bearing is and where could a replacement be found? Or does anyone have this bearing? Unfortunately in Europe, most bearings are metric. The bearing is manufactured by Schaffer.

Thank for you help.

Don't know the Olcar Beraring email address? Speaking English is difficult for me, my translator helps me to write.

They have no email address.

You could send them an old fashion letter. They should have what you are looking for.

Attached are the Timken bearing numbers. May help.

If you take your old sample bearing to a company selling timken or SKF bearings they should be able to measure the old bearings and find a suitable replacement.

 Those numbers you have are very old numbers and are probably a 3 part bearing. These old type bearings will have been superceded,  and replaced by a 2 part taper roller bearing with newer technology. 

 I would recommend you replace both the inner and outer hub bearings on both sides of the car and also the inner grease seals.

Hello,  I have found many old and obsolete bearings on E-bay.  The  more Brand #'s you have the better your chance.

I believe all bearing on Mopar's of that era were metric . So that should help ,you .

When I measured the real diameters, they were in inch. Timken Europe is looking for a similar bearing in their production. So let's see if he finds anything. But I would prefer to have the original old bearing so that the car has as many authentic parts as possible. My dream is for the car to be as it left the factory in 1925.

Here are the detail measurements for the outer bearing:

Check this one on Ebay - fits newer cars. Seems like the same measurements?

Timken shows that bearing number in their current catalog.
