Im looking to buy front and rear wheel bearings for my 96cr250 and i want to see if i can find them from a bearing supplier for cheaper than my local dealer. I have the Honda part numbers but i dont know exactly what im looking for. I have been through a few websites and dont quite see how to match up the honda part number w/ anything else. I figure i need the part number, type of bearing, size, inner and outer diameter, and the rating of the bearing. Does this seem right? If i have the part number can i just call a supplier and they wil match it up?
Understanding part numbers?

The oem part number probably won't do you any good. There should be a number on the side of the bearing itself. You can usually go by this number or better yet, measure the bearing.
You will need the outside diameter, inside diameter and width of the bearing. Take the old bearing with you to the bearing supplier to insure you get the same quality of bearing.
Seals are measured the same way but, the specs are usually on the side of the seal. Re: 42X12X10 means the seal is 42mm outside dia. 12mm inside dia. 10mm wide.
Just my $ .02 :cool:
