The old parts were disposed of before I could measure them.

If you are a micrometer owner please measure and post the bearing and spindle measurements next time you do a rear bearing job!

why is it that I find the newer german origin bearings to be ***e, When I used FAG bearings they were the same as you say, bought some NTN japanese ones and they are excellent.

Same bearings used on 1980 corolla front wheels,, same seal too
