Looks like a stocker

Sprints/autobarn/rapeco etc have them but be sure of your design so typically take your old one in to remove confusion

I got one for my ute from Hardy Spicer a few weeks ago.

You can actually peel away three metal tabs on the bracket and just replace the centre rubber and bearing part (ie cheaper).

Click on the "B1 - Universal Joint Kits and Centre Bearings" link for the parts list PDF.

For XR6 Turbo and XR8, they use a 35mm bearing. Naturally aspirated Falcons use a 30mm.

The complete unit (35mm): FD-30-5835

The centre part only (35mm): FD-30-5845

When I was doing mine a month ago I wasn't too sure how to pull the CV joint apart without stuffing things up, so went back to Hardy Spicer with the drive shaft and tools, and one of the staff ran me through how to fit the new bearing.

Ideally, take your drive shaft to the branch to ensure that you get the correct bearing.

I didn't think you could replace that one as it's a cv not a uni. Could be wrong though.

I replaced the centre bearing on my CV-jointed drive shaft in the carpark at Hardy Spicer.

Shouldn't the bearing need to be pressed off/on?

On mine, it slid off after a few taps with a mallet, but my drive shaft is a CV joint one.

Don't know about a universal joint one, that might require a press.

Correct fitting bearing assembly should part slide on then with the attachment of the yoke and bolt, the tightening of the bolt is enough to make it "home"
