Hello All,
I am replacing the oil seals because they are likely old. In order to get to the bottom seal, I need to remove the bottom crank shaft bearing. I imagine that my lacking mechanical skills will damage the existing bearing when I remove it. Therefore, I might as well try to find a replacement. However the bearing is a Fafnir 205K C1 … C1 Tight Clearance. Shall I try to special order or is a modern replacement available? My AI overlord says this: 205K‑C1 = legacy Fafnir number
- Today’s Timken equivalents:
- 205K / P205K (direct lineage)
- but 6205 series is the modern standard
- The only real gap is C1 clearance, which must now be special‑ordered or evaluated for replacement
.
