<VV> Bearing For Greenbrier Van

[Frank DuVal]

The van axles are larger in diameter, therefore the bearings for the 
vans (FC's Greenbriers, Rampsides) have a larger inside diameter than 
any car bearing.

They are way too expensive to just change while doing other things. Only 
replace when bad. While the brakes are being serviced, though, it is  a 
good time to dissassemble (drill out the two rivets and separate while 
still on the axle) clean and repack with wheel bearing grease. This 
should make them go many more miles. If the races have pits in them then 
it is repacement time.
