Expert Tip: When replacing a tapered cone bearing, always thoroughly inspect the mating bearing cup (race) inside the housing! Running a brand-new bearing cone against a scored or pitted old cup will destroy the new bearing almost instantly. We highly recommend replacing bearings in pairs during any major rebuild.
