[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1423367, member: 3828"] 0.37mm difference is quite a bit more significant. If the new one is exactly 100.0mm, youd have to think that is the correct one. The way to know for sure would have been to measure the distance between the two bearing seats in the wheels hub with the bearings out, as that should be the same distance as the inner race spacer length. As for All-Balls wheel bearings, there have been prior reports of them not lasting long on FJRs. Its a good bet that they dont manufacture their bearings, but buy them from a wholesale source and then resell them, which would explain the variable quality and longevity. If it were my bike I would order the OEM bearings. They are not that much more expensive and you know they are decent quality bearings. List price is $22 ea. $16 ea. at Partzilla. All Balls sells their kit (2 bearings and 2 seals) for $29. You probably didnt really need the replacement seals they give you in the kit anyway, unless you mangle the old seals getting them out.
