Ford wheel bearings come in different sizes depending on the specific model and axle. The size of the wheel bearings for Ford vehicles can vary between 35mm, 45mm, and 50mm, depending on the axle and hub configuration . The 35mm bearing is used for 3,500-pound Nev-R-Lube hubs, the 45mm bearing is used for SL (Slimline or Ford) bearings rated for 1,500 kg, and the 50mm bearing is used for 7,000 – 8,000 pound Nev-R-Lube hubs. It’s important to note that the stud size, rather than the axle itself, determines which bearings are needed. To ensure the correct size, it is recommended to measure the spindle at the bearing seats using a digital caliper.

What is the measurement of a Ford hub?
Ford hub (5 x 114.3mm PCD). Supplied with China SL/Slimline (Ford) bearing kit. 1 x SL seal (59.1mm O.D. x 42.7mm I.D.)
What size is a small Ford bearing?
Small Ford Axle Bearing Includes Retainer Plate – Each 2.834 x 1.562.
How do I know what size bearings I need?
Determining the size of a ball bearing can be done by measuring its outer diameter (OD), bore size (ID), and width. These measurements are usually expressed in millimetres (mm). Using a calliper or a micrometer, you can accurately measure these dimensions.
What size hubs are on a Ford bearing?
Ford hubs measure 12.4mm and Holden hubs measure 11mm. This is the major factor for determining if you require a Ford or Holden wheel bearing trailer kit.
Are wheel hub sizes standard?
The most common hub spacing standard for road bikes is 100/130mm for quick releases, while for mountain bikes is 110/142mm thru-axle. However, there are also other hub spacing standards, such as 12x142mm, 15x135mm, and 12x150mm.
What size are Ford bearings?
Ford bearings are rated for 1450kg for each pair of wheels (axle). The 45mm or 50mm solid steel axles are manufactured to suit the Ford bearings. These bearings sit on the 35mm shoulder (inner bearing) and the 22mm shoulder (outer bearing) of the axle spindle.
What are some standard bearing sizes for hubs?
- 1/4″ – most traditional bottom brackets require 11 x 1/4″ ball bearings on each side.
- 3/16″ – most front hubs require 10 x 3/16″ bearings on each side.
- 1/8″ – freewheels and some pedals.
- 5/32″ – some headsets and some pedals.
- 7/32 – some Campagnolo front hubs (Nuovo Record, Super Record, Record).
What size bearings are in front and rear hubs?
Conventional front wheel cup and cone bearings have 10x 3/16″ ball bearings per side, whereas the rear wheel has 9x 1/4″ ball bearings per side. Manufacturers have been on a continuous quest over time, to simplify bikes in terms of ease of assembly, and of inventory.
What is the most common bearing size?
Series 6200 and 6300 are the most commonly used, and typically range from 10 x 30 x 9 mm (. 394 x 1.181 x . 354 in) to 150 x 320 x 65 mm (5.906 x 12.598 x 2.559 in).
What are the most popular bearing sizes?
Common metric sizes for ball bearings include:
- 6000 series: 10 mm bore diameter.
- 6200 series: 10 to 30 mm bore diameter.
- 6300 series: 10 to 35 mm bore diameter.
