eaton rear axle
 

does any one know where to buy axle bearings,seals for the eaton rear axles. I have a 68 c 20 & a 71 k 20 with this behemoth. Also does any one know anything about these, I think there were 2 different model #'s like HO 52 & HO 72. Any help would be great. Also any expoided views of this would be great, cause i want to rebuild the one on the 71 k20 thanks

dp a search for my name and you will find the bearing numbers and if you go to www.coloradok5.com and do a search for my name or eatonyou will come up with a lot of info. bearings are cheaper through a bearing place versus a parts store. or pm me and i will get you all i can. just dont have the time right now.

thanks 69k5. Im in the same no time boat.

The HO52 was in 3/4 ton trucks while the HO72 was a one ton rear.
You tried NAPA on those bearings?

NAPA = good luck! I got no love from them on both of my HO52/72 axles.

Try these guys:

Randy's Ring & Pinion

They helped me get my working axle back together...

thanks, i tried napa with no luck. They said they would need the old bearings & seals. I said no sh**, if I took them out i could probably get them at the local bearing warehouse. thanks again

take this to na[ anmd tell em to read the book. got this from napa online. put in for my parts truck and wholla 72 k20 rear axel

:burnout:

courtesy of rod from one of my post theses are the hub bearings and they are timken part numbers


188930 inner bearing
188932 outer bearing

1962 to 1972 used the same ones.

thanks again some of that stuff is pricey huh. I tell ya if these rear ends werent so strong id be looking into a 14 bolt with discs from boyce equipment, it still might be cheeper cause i want to conver mine to rear discs. such decisions we face il just shut my head in the door a few times till things go black

the same rear disc for a 14ff works on an eaton. bolt on kit. checkout azkickin.com good people and its a bolt on kit.. 80 bucks for the brackets and then jy and get some cheap calipers and 1 1/2 of work easy aspie.

Re: eaton rear axle
 

just get a 14BFF axle from a 2000+ chevy w/ factory rear disc.....its tuned for the back end and has proper drum parking brakes unlike those aftermarket kits that just use front calipers from whatever car. you'd just have to fab the proper mounts for the trailing arms, track bar and shocks. the 2000+ 14BFF has an 11.5 ring gear and is massive compared to the 10.5 ring gear 14BFF's in 70's to 90's trucks. i may some day just swap the gm rear disc brakes onto my HO52 on my 72 burb. it will be a neat combination of modern and classic.

That is some serious thread resurrection right there! ;)

Re: eaton rear axle
 

yeah.....found it while searching the net for info for my suburban.....didn't realize it was so old.....

Re: eaton rear axle
 

Wow, I read this entire thread not even realizing that it was written on papyrus.

Re: eaton rear axle
 

lol!!!

Re: eaton rear axle
 

EDITED:

I have learned so much about my Eaton these last few months.
K20's at least for my year of burb 1968 were 12" drums, and very difficult to find drums and brake parts for.

No, Napa does not carry them anymore.

I discovered that the adjuster arm on a 1974 14 bolt, is the same for the 12" drumed Eaton and closed knuck Dana 44.

I'm back in business!

Re: eaton rear axle
 

go to napa

Re: eaton rear axle
 

Napa doesn't carry them anymore.

Re: eaton rear axle
 

well then take them to a motion industries or find one on the web, call them tell them what you got & have them ship it to you. You will need the numbers on the bearings & seals or the exact measurements.

Re: eaton rear axle
 

:sumo: NOT talkin about a bearings or seals...

Re: eaton rear axle
 

Did you try Napa? :haha:

Sorry...had to do it. Good luck in your quest!

Re: eaton rear axle
 

:lol: Yessssss I did. Plus all the other local chain parts stores.

Plus I thought I had some mad google skills, and I still can't find a parts house that sells 12" brake drum parts. Shoes, yes. Wheel cylinders, yes. Springs seem to be interchangeable from 11" to 12", so I have all new parts except for this stupid adjuster arm.

Heck Inline Tube is putting a copy of my E-brake cable into their catalog now after being able to copy mine, since the one they were selling for a 67-72 was for an 11" brake drum.

Re: eaton rear axle
 

vectorit- There's a place down here in Spring Valley called Border Parts, sorry I don't have their number on me right now. They carry early eaton rear axle bearings, seals, etc. Probably hook you up with other eaton needs as well. Good luck.

Re: eaton rear axle
 

Also, If I remember right, when I rebuilt the rear drum brakes on my 71 K20 I discovered that year was an odd ball as far as brake drum was concerned. One drum was turned OK, the other was too far grooved and junk. National Brake in San Diego fixed me up with a replacement 8 lug drum that was too wide but they just trimmed to proper width. What a stout heavy azz axle they are though. Next time, probably cheaper to go with discs.
