Good old British Timken taper roller bearings........................ :roll:

Guy90:
Ah! That's the proper name. I've always called them the outer race.

I always change them but have always wondered why?

The seat will be matched to the race i.e. matching pair - leave the old seat in and put a new race in may get even more premature wear (although I'd imagine in your case that wouldn't matter  :wink:  :lol: )

muddyweb:
Don't quote me on the name... again.. that is what I've always called them.

You need to change both parts because they wear in sympathy, so when you put a new bearing in, it really needs to be on a new seat.

Ollie:
That looks like just what I got in me hand :(stoopid):
I also bought the rubber bearing seal that sits behind the second bearing, and the driving member gasket, just to be sure :(thinkhard):
