Morris Minor Owners Club

These were again spares that came with my Mothers' Minor. I think they're front wheel bearings but wanted to check if 1) they were 2) if they're complete kits and most importantly 3) were still usable.

As you can see they're still fully sealed in their packages which makes viewing them difficult ,but I've tried to take decent photos front and back of each item (link for full zoom):

The bearing numbers are the key, not easy while in package though. Useable, don’t see why not, even if you had to clean and repack with fresh grease, certainly they won’t be worn.

Thanks for the reply - I've been avoiding opening them since I don't know when they'd get fitted (though I do need a front wheel bearing replaced on my car).

So there's no confusion, I realise now that it looks like I've got dozens of packets as I accidentally duplicated some in the image so:

There are 2 large, 2 small, 1 hard (should it be?) rubber ring and 3 packets of grease (not shown) - is that all there should be (bar 1 missing rubber ring)?

There should be one large bearing, one small bearing, one seal (ring) and one packet of grease per hub.
No harm will come to the bearings if to identify them you have to remove them from the factory wrapping.
Once identified re-wrap and re-seal in a Dowty seal bag.

Is that a resealable plastic bag or something special? (I found the manufacturer of the seals, but not the type of bag you're referring to).

Also, so no clips then? I saw on eBay the front ones were sold with the clips (which I can't remember the name of but look like a hairclip).

The Dowty seal bag is a reusable and re-sealable bag designed by Dowty manufacturing.
The hair clip you refer to is I suspect is a split pin.
Split pins are not always supplied as part of a wheel bearing overhaul kit.

Thanks, yes split pin is the term that I just could not remember
