I need to replace the axle bearing and innner and outer seals on my 1970 Plymouth Fury. 8.75 I’m trying to find the Timken numbers so I can get them from a local supplier that is not a parts store.
The kids at the parts stores around here don’t know enough to be any help!
Thanks !
 
Timken # Set7 is the bearing

I have some numbers for the seals, but I need to double check.
 
I made this list up a while back since I've replaced my share of bearings. You can often get deals of of ebay for old USA stock. Your car's looking awesome BTW.

8-3/4 axle parts:
2404215 inner oil seal; alternates 2881135, CR/SKF 15460, National/Timkin 8695S, Centric 41763002
2070933 retainer foam gasket; Felpro 13800
2881314 steel retainer gasket; Felpro 55032
3621967 seal package
2525415 wheel bearing set; SKF BR7, Timken SET7

Thank you and thank you! I’m off to Motion Industries with this info!
 
I have Timken #8704S for the outer seal and #8695S for the inner.
 
I just ordered the following Tapered Axle Bearing Package from DoctorDiff for Regina, my L-code 1970 Polara 'vert. I chose the Timken (Set 7).

Interestingly, Dr. Diff gives two choices -- Precision and Timken (made in Canada-USA). The price with Timken almost doubles the cost, but that is the one that I ordered on the basis of the info in this thread.

For the differential carrier gasket (aka third member gasket, unless I am mistaken), I did not order from Dr. Diff as there was no brand name provided. Instead, I ordered a Fel-Pro RDS6583 from Rock Auto, which is what @71Polara383 recommended and that @1970FuryConv used for his own 8 3/4 project here.

8695s is the seal used on axle. Do u know the inner dimension by any chance That would be the dimension of the speedie sleeve
That would be the inner dimension of the rubber seal... which is gonna be smaller than the axle so it seals. So that does nothing but confuse the problem even more.

The better place to find that dimension is from the press fit bearings and they have an ID of 1.5625 or 1 13/16"

Here's the seal specs: Part Number 8695S, Oil Seals Inch On The Timken Company and the bearing specs. https://www.motion.com/products/sku/00665576

Of course, the best thing to do is verify before buying anything. Measure where it's not damaged. A cheap pair of digital calipers from Harbor Fright is your friend here. 6 in. Digital Caliper with SAE and Metric Fractional Readings

 
Wheel Axle Bearing (Timken Set 7): Timken part number SET7 or A7. This is the common bearing set used in Chrysler 8.75 rear axles. You can typically find these parts at a bearing supply stores online or an industrial supplier, which may have more knowledgeable staff than a typical auto parts store.
