Check the radius of the Timken bearing closely and make sure it will fit, or is larger than the radius on the axle flange before you install it. Moser axles don't come with Timken bearings. They come with Green bearings. The first time I used Timken, I found that the radius of the bearing interferes with the radius of the axle and keeps the bearing from going on as it should. There was about .015" gap.
The numbers on the Green box are 9507F RW507E. I asked the auto parts guy to get me the Timken cross and when installing it, noticed I could press it on all the way, leaving a gap to the shoulder.
