Deuce and Half Inner Bearing for Wide 5

The Deuce and Half Inner Bearing for Wide 5 is a precision angular contact ball bearing engineered for high-performance wide 5 hub assemblies found on classic trucks, hot rods, and specialty vehicles. This inner race bearing (model CRC-3009) is the critical component that supports radial and thrust loads in wide 5 wheel applications, where traditional five-lug hubs demand robust, precision-manufactured bearings. Built by Diversified Machine, this bearing serves mechanics and enthusiasts who demand OEM-quality replacement parts for restoration, upgrade, and daily-driver applications where wheel integrity is non-negotiable.

Manufactured from hardened steel with angular contact geometry, the Deuce and Half Inner Bearing distributes combined radial and axial loads across its ball races, reducing friction and extending bearing life under acceleration, braking, and cornering stress. The angular contact design allows the bearing to handle side loads that would compromise standard radial bearings, making it essential for performance driving or heavy-duty applications. At 0.42 lbs and measuring 3.6 x 1 x 4 inches, this inner race bearing fits within tight hub assemblies while maintaining the dimensional precision required for proper preload and clearance. The natural steel finish resists corrosion when properly sealed within the hub cavity and lubricated according to manufacturer specifications.

Buyers restoring classic Dodge Power Wagons, vintage hot rods, or any wide 5 platform benefit most from this replacement bearing when servicing wheel hubs during brake work, suspension upgrades, or preventive maintenance. Installation requires removing the wheel hub assembly, pressing out the worn bearing, and pressing in the new bearing with proper alignment tools to avoid race damage. Pair this inner bearing with a matching outer bearing and wheel seal kit to restore full hub integrity. Mechanics should verify bearing clearance and preload according to vehicle specifications before road testing, as improper installation compromises steering response and bearing longevity.
