Subject: Re: Pinion Shaft bearings
Hi,
the bearing numbers "should be" N307 ECP x1 at the gear end, an 3307-2RS x 1 at the outer end, however Lagonda added the second bearing for a very good reason and this will fit inside all housings, you just need to reduce the spacers inside to suit! I would strongly advise to fit the double bearing to your pinion and make sure this is at the "flange" end of the shaft. Or it may be easier for you to fit the double bearing # 5307 -EEG15 instead of the 2 bearings.
Personally though I would strip it first as there is no guarantees that it has standard bearings inside, at least 25% of cars through our workshop have something weird and wonderful fitted instead of std.
Regards,
Julian
