[Spridgets] Rear Hub Bearing

[Peter Caldwell]

If the problem is the quality of the bearing, and I've seen some 
questionable product, I suggest using part number 6207-2RS made by 
either Koyo or SKF    The designation 2RS means 2 rubber seals.... it 
is a sealed ball bearing. I recommend removing 1 of the seals (they 
pluck out) and installing the bearing with the open end facing the 
oil supply.

Also, I'm wondering if your axle flange is fully seating? I recall 
there being an issue with wire wheel axle length on Bugeye rear ends. 
Someone around here knows more about that.
