Default Bearing question

I was looking through the manual to make a bearing order. In the parts list at the top it has losa6946, 6x10's. They aren't listed anywhere else in the manual. So you need them, but where do they go kinda thing.

So I looked at the exploded view and they are for the idler gear shaft according to that, but those are supposed to be the 6x12's in the manual.

What are they supposed to be?

And the views for the Spool bearings show 12x18, but other listings are 12x8. Is that just a typo and they are 12x18? That makes a little more sense to me.

Thanks.

The spool bearings in the axles are 10x15

The 12x18's are on the outputs in the transmission.

I believe the 6x10's are a typo. There are 6x12's in the knuckles, along with 5x10's.


fwiw, I replace the outer bearings in the knuckles (5x10's) every 1-2 months and the bearings on the spools (10x15) every 2 months or so.

Yes, sorry, I typed that out wrong for the spools. It's the ones on the idler shaft. 6x10 or 6x12. They are different from the manual to the exploded view.

Oh, I forgot about those. They are 6x10's. I guess that means I haven't had to replace those yet

Thanks. My bearings are still good as well but I don't think any of the manufacturer's are using really good bearings. And I fully understand why as well. 90% of the users out there will never even look at the bearings. Upgrading the kit bearings makes the kit more expensive. However, I know how much good bearings will do. In my TC, they will drop the motor temps, with the same gearing, almost 30*. I don't see that here, but you never know.

Thanks again.
