Rob,

The Pantera uses exactly the same front wheel bearings as virtually every 
Ford product made from WWII  (or even before!) through the 1970s at least.  
So the bearings are available everywhere.  The front seals are unique, but 
are also readily available.

I think the SKF numbers for the bearings are BR2 and BR6.  Let me check 
the gearhead database.  Ah yes:

Front Wheel Bearings: Chicago Rawhide (SKF) Inner: BR6    Outer: BR2      
Seal SKF: 17387

Do you not have this database file that Bill Taylor has worked so hard on?  
 It contains something like 9000+ facts and sources for the Pantera, easily 
searchable.  You just type in 'bearing' in the search box, and the answer 
comes up instantly.

Bill has done us all a terrific service here, and that's why when I learn 
something new (like part numbers for the front main seal, or overflow bottle 
cap most recently), I always send the info to him for him to incorporate in 
his next edition.

Mika Dailey hosts the database on his website, here:

http://www.panteraplace.com/Electrical/Pantera%20Information.xls

Enter that link and the Excel file will download to your hard drive.  
Anybody who doesn't have this needs to get it pronto!

Cheers!

Mike,

Tapping is just percussive pressing. :). Works just fine.

   Rob,
   The Pantera uses exactly the same front wheel bearings as virtually
   every

   least.
   So the bearings are available everywhere.  The front seals are unique,
   but
   are also readily available.
   I think the SKF numbers for the bearings are BR2 and BR6.  Let me check

   Mike,
   From memory, the bearings are BR2 and BR6. Just ask for 1965 Mustang
   bearings.
