BlackComanche89 Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Hi, 330 000 km on the road and some leakage and play are now a fact. Is there any quality kit including all parts needed for a factory rebuld? (Seals, bearings, plastic clips, chain) Or do I need to buy the parts separately from different dealers? Ebay or Rockauto or any european dealer prefered.
75sv1 Posted May 4 Posted May 4 I think NOVAK has a complete kit. I think I bought some lower price kit. Then ended up having to buy other parts. The total price was not much difference. And that's not including shipping. I'd try and get a kit with KOYO or Nachi bearing. National, SKF and Timken would be a plus.
GonzoTheGreat Posted May 4 Posted May 4 When I was in Italy, I used autodoc.de and ebay.de. I don't speak german, but with google translate, and part numbers, I found what I needed, and germany definitely had the most parts available from within the EU (no need to pay VAT or wait for transatlantic shipping).
ghetdjc320 Posted May 5 Posted May 5 I used the Novak kit a few years ago but it had several missing pieces and wasn’t really a quality kit (cheap seals and bearings). That may have changed recently. Normally I really like Novak products. On my last tcase rebuild, I went in rock auto and picked up every SKF bearing and seal I could find but that was for a 242
ghetdjc320 Posted May 5 Posted May 5 I see rock auto has an SKF rebuilt kit part number STCK231. May be a good setup

May be a good setup Yes I have seen that one and SKF is always a safe card, even if it´s no longer is Swedish made. The kit is not complete, so I also need to find the plastic parts and a decent chain.
BlackComanche89 Posted May 5 Author Posted May 5 Transtar BK231 kit looks nice with everything exept the chain
aris_garage_builds Posted May 6 Posted May 6 I've heard good things about USA Standard Gear's rebuild kit, although I haven't tried it myself. I believe they are available through Rock Auto and Ebay, so there might be shipping options for the EU.
BlackComanche89 Posted May 28 Author Posted May 28 It ended up with this, Transtar BK-231 plus BorgWarner Morse TEC chain.
