Mine are Matco with 1630-2RS bearings. You split the wheel and push the bearings from the inside out. Being that you have snap rings retaining the bearings, I would suspect that is the exit path for the bearing. It should come out with no issue using a small arbor press. -------- N456TS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=474001#474001 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:44:53 AM PST US From: Larry Edson Subject: Re: Allegro-List: Re: Allegro 2000 - Front Gear Wheel Bearing Replacement I replaced the main gear wheel bearing last year. Both the mains and the nose wheel are the same and the bearings are the same. There was no need to dismount the tire or split the rim. I simply removed the snap rings and using a small brass drift, drove the bearing out from the opposite side. To install the replacement bearing, place the wheel on a flat surface, position the bearing and drive it in until seated with a socket that is slightly smaller that the bearing bore. Once fully seated reinstall the snap ring. And your good to go.

Both the mains and the nose wheel are the same and the bearings are the same. Interesting. You've got sealed bearings on the main axles? On the mains, I've got tapered bearings which you preload and grease the same as automotive applications. On the front are standard 1630 sealed bearings. Any idea what diameter axles are on your Allegro? Mine has 3/4" for the front, but I believe the mains are larger. I would guess 1" shafts, but I would have to measure to confirm. -------- N456TS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=474007#474007 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:59:26 PM PST US From: Subject: Re: Allegro-List: Re: Allegro 2000 - Front Gear Wheel Bearing Replacement N456TS, All of the wheel bearings on my Allegro 2000 are the same. They are sealed radial ball bearings having the following dimensions: Bearing O.D. = 42 mm Bearing I.D. = 20 mm = shaft O.D. Bearing width = 12 mm The bearings can be found on line at www.thebigbearingstore.com they are specified as 6004-ZZ Hugh G. McKay III, P.E. Fellow, L.M.
