Jason, My wife and I traveled several hundred miles to tow home our M17. Our first stop, after leaving the brokers lot, was a local tire store. In our case the bearings & tires were old and neglected. We had a new set of tires put on, bought a rim to make a spare, and had the wheel bearings inspected and re-packed. We wanted to replace the wheel bearings and seals and keep the old ones as spares but caught the tire shop too late in the day (they didn't have our size in stock). We were happy to have all this done, and considered it cheap insurance. Tom is right. If you have the number off the bearings you should be able to find them at most any auto parts store, and they are relatively cheap! And don't forget to replace the seals. Randy G.

I'll have to tow it a long way to my home and would like to replace the wheel bearings before I hit the highway. Does anyone know the part numbers for the inner and outer races and bearings? How do I make sure I get the right ones from the auto parts house? Thanks a ton. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
