Default '56 Rear Wheel Bearings

Remember reading, on this forum about a good source for rear wheel bearings for C1's. I am looking for a set for my '56, any suggested suppliers?
Thanks,

Pierre G. Joly

NAPA had them when I replaced one recently.. kinda pricey if I remember at around $80, had a oil leak, took another look at the situation and saw the o-ring was pinched causing the leak, so I got another o-ring and put on the bearing and has been A-OK ever since..

If you have the ORIGINAL 56 rear axle housing, those axle bearings are ONE year only!!! Also, they are the same axle bearing as a 55-56 Passenger car. If you have no luck finding them at a reasonable price, email me and I can help you.
