Anyone know what size the bearings are on the sliding seat runners? I reversed my middle seats a few weeks back and discovered a knackered bearing (1 of 8 in total), but omitted to note the size before refitting the runners.

I had a look on LushProjects, but perhaps not thoroughly enough.

Matt.

I have some runners that i took off the kia sedona rails i modified you can have the bearings off those if you want. If they come off that is. Just had a look and dont know how to get them off.

I've just looked at a set of bearings on a scrap van & unfortunately didn't have a tape measure with me. The problem I think you will have is that it looks like the bearings are fitted onto the axle pin & the end is formed over to prevent the bearing coming off, so they won't come off readily. Personally, I would be tempted to leave it in current state as there are plenty of other bearings taking the load.

I was happy enough putting it back together minus one bearing. Just working through my todo list... Given your observation, Simon, I'll forget about it until I ever decide to put the seats back facing forwards again.

I think thats a good idea. I agree with Simon the bearings look like a pig to get off.
