I am not sure about all Lehman Harley Kits, or any metric trike Lehman kit, but this applies to the Harley Lehman units. I am also not sure if this bearing was carried through to the TG either.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The rear wheel bearings are sealed automobile type bearings. Mine are RW207CCRA and this may be listed in your parts manual, if you performed your own conversion or have the replacement parts section of the manual.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I had one blow-up recently in a small Utah town. When I pulled the axle and located the PN on the bearing, it was a RW207 just like the manual specifies. Now....here is the problem and here is what I suggest that you do. I obtained the services of a great small-town mechanic who called the parts houses for miles around and NOBODY had this bearing in stock. Of all places....he had one more shot and we drove to an Ace Hardware Store that had a small auto-parts section. They just happened to have this RW207 bearing.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
When I got home, I went to purchase a couple of spares and discovered that Advanced, NAPA, AutoZone...or nobody else had this bearing in stock. It had to be ordered. It is a fairly common "small" Ford sealed bearing, but was used in early model Fords and are not well stocked in parts-houses.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
My advice is that you find out what rear axle bearing (and any other non-bike bearing) is in your trike and pack a spare just in case you loose one out there in the wilderness.<br />
<br />
My finding the bearing at the Ace Hardware was pure luck, but it made my break-down a 3-hour fix as opposed to and undetermined amount of down time waiting for one that had to be ordered....which could be days.
For the most part...the trike rear wheel bearing system is just like that of an automobile and any auto repair shop can fix it...IF they can find the bearing.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I plan to replace my other bearing and also pack a replacement bearing in my tool kit. You may never have one fail and I sure was not expecting it either. If you do....you could be a U-Haul case, or get stuck in some remote town for days.
