Glen, The Mfg part number of the special nose wheel bearing is SKF No. 6207-2RS, as listed on page 6 of Ercoupe Service Memorandum No 41, para 6b. Hope this helps. Harry Francis

Replacing it with a similar numbered bearing ( but not special preloaded type) results in play in the wheel to bearing , and results in shimmy. Replace bearing with proper pre-loaded bearing...See page # 40 Ercoupe Service Manual, para4, last sentence. "This deep groove preloaded... ..." Hope the above helps... Fly Safe - Have Fun Harry Francis Harry, or anyone, Got any idea of where to find said bearing?? We looked for one, and they seem to be unobtainium. .. any ercoupers out there have any ideas? Thanks, Glen
