Anybody in San Diego have a junk unit bearing laying around?

[Anak]

Looking for a unit bearing to use as an alignment aid while welding. I don't think it is worth shipping or parts training from LA, but if someone has one laying around in San Diego that they wouldn't mind loaning out or parting with cheap let me know.

This is for welding on the JKS fab adapters for a WJ brake swap. I don't think it matters what year XJ, but not having gotten my hands on all the pieces I could be wrong about that. Edumicate me if I need it.

I will be taking apart my front axle soon and bringing all the parts down to MarkW's place to rebuild a new axle. I have new unit bearings so I could let you have one of the old ones. I will keep one as a spare. How soon do you need this?

Thank you for the offer.

Ideally in a week and a half.

I think I have the spacers ordered from JKS (I say "think" because I have yet to see an email that they are shipping them...ordered them over the weekend, got a confirmation email on the order, and that is all so far). I have the knuckles, but have to press out the tapered shaft of a ball joint that chose to let go of its own pieces rather than the knuckle. Once I have that apart I then need to clean off the grease and get them sandblasted. Odds are that will be a quick turn around. At that point I will be ready to weld them up. Figure September 20 is my most likely target.

Does that line up at all with your plans?
