Its a 91 RRC. I've looked over at rangerovers.net and searched discoweb but cross-references I have found are for the serpentine belt model years. Mine is starting to complain.

I pulled mine apart and found it was a special - not just in size but also shape. What I did was to machine up a plug to fit the front of the bearing and in this I fitted a grease nipple. I greased the bearing. It made a big difference. It was still there when I sold it.

Dealer wants about $90 for the bearing.   Geoff 93 RRC (Geoff) Senior Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 320 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 01, 2004 - 08:52 pm:    I got mine from Atlantic British for about $65.
