Can I swap straight front wheel bearings in a drum brake set up for tapered ones. Are the seals the same. Etc My Moke has bad play in the righthand front which I would like to sort out. Thanks kiwiinwgtn |

yes, straight swap... but replace the seals anyway, should come in the kit |

As Simon says, but watch the inner seal. The seal spacer ring for discs is over 2x as thick (.205"), to keep the seal from hitting the Timken bearing inner. If you have 2 of the drum brake spacer rings use them (= near enough), otherwise just knock the seal in until its outer face is level with the start of the hub's bore. |
