    El Burro 8 HP bearing needed

    I guess I could try to pull it out. It has a sturdy rubber seal, a couple off flat washers and countless tiny roller bearings. It is not clear that the bearing could be removed as separate from the outer cap. Thanks for the reply.

    Wanted bearing cap for an El Burro front axle

    I need the roller bearing, seal and cap that holds the inner rod and the outer axle tube for an El Burro.
