I think 6204 bearings are 20 x 47 x 14mm - I fitted some to my rear wheel a few months ago. The hub bearing is 25 x 62 x 17mm(I just looked it up).

FBOB does have some fancy wheels and stuff, he's spot on with the bearing numbers, but I think the bearing dimensions are from one of his specials !

This is what I used to check the hub bearing size - a good site for checking stuff.

The bearing dimensions are actually the seal dimensions, as ask for....

Sorry FBOB, scan read it - should've realised that the 7mm width was on the narrow side for a wheel bearing !!

Don't forget to add "2rs" to the end of the bearing number to get ones with a rubber seal each side.

Check the grease I've had a few bearings that, though they were greased it was only a light smear, no need to pack em solid, but an extra blob wont hurt

[bluedog59]

Good point. You can pop the rubber seals out without damaging them to do this. A very small screw driver or scribe will do it.

Thanks for all the help guys, I have the bearings now, all SKF and rubber sealed, good advice on not putting in to much grease, a lot of people do not know that to much can cause a bearing to over heat due to having no space for air to help cool it.

I work in oil and gas industry and maintain some very high revving pumps etc so we are very aware of the problems with under or over greasing bearings, I have had a couple of drinks so will not try and explain it myself so have a read of this http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/28664/dangers-of-overgreasing-

Drop the bearings into a sealed bag and then in the freezer while you warm the hub up a little.

Makes them a lot easier to fit.

Good tip but I prefer to use my hot air gun to expand the housings, works either way.
