Wheel Bearings
The OEM bearings are Chinese and expensive. they are a 1x52x21 sealed double roller brg. Is anybody aware of an american manufacturer for replacements, Torrington, Timkin etc. I have no luck searching.

They are supposed to be good for over 100K. Why are you replacing them?

my fronts went out at about 30,000, I was unable to find a replacement at any bearing shop, had to go to the MOCO. This was on a 06, they might be different on newer ones? Dealer said they were a wear item and would do nothing for me.

It seems they're a proprietary size. Standard bore, metric dimensions. They're a mutt and only way to get them is through the moco or Drag. Both foreign made.

They are indeed unique and the only other source I ever found for them while I was putting modern wheels on the shovel was a Chinese site that read like a bad dim sum menu.

I replaced my front wheel bearings on my 08 FXDF with pilot bearings we carry at the truck shop. Exact same dimensions, $4.00 each. Sold by Eaton, I will check for numbers on the bearing itself.

I replaced my front wheel bearings when I changed the front tire...20 bucks each from MoCo. I could feel a small bad spot in one...simple replacement...

No official wheel bearing tool. Banged the old wheel bearings out, and with a threaded rod, 2 nuts, and washers used with an old bearing...walla, a wheel bearing installer tool that pulls the bearing into place. Note: There is a sleeve between the bearings that must be installed before the second bearing is installed.
