4 bearing cones. When you buy your inner and outer bearings (BCA/Timken #s 392 and 3994) you will get only the cones (races). You will need to buy the cups (raceways, BCA/Timken #3920) separately.

BTW, not to hijack your thread, but what happened to the "Bearing and Seal part number X-reference list" which used to be in the TA section? I tried looking for it to include in this reply, but it appears to have vanished!

Wheel cylinder rebuild kits and doublecheck your front brake hoses before you start.

This always frustrated me because the manuals list the bearings as a single PN but there is no "set number" in the civy world or even with most MV parts suppliers any more. I kinda made a mission out of righting this wrong about 2 months ago and got a manufacture to listen for a change… So now you can again get Timken US produced bearings under the proper Mil numbers as a set…. Which also cost less to buy that way!!!

They are listed in the parts cross section not the TM section... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&tid=10

Don’t forget the lock washers and have some extra grade 8 bolts for the axle flange in case the bolts are stretched. I always change the lock washers and check for bolt stretch, thinning where the threads begin, every time I pull an axle.
