If this number is hard to find, then I consider that you would at least request it in a good way.

Another fact that you must also consider is that this forum is free, and there is a lot of people that can help you for free, and since you are not a customer, we can easily can send you to a place that can not be mentioned here due to the respect that the other members deserve.

Good luck!
Thanks for your two cents, it will go toward the purchasing of the new bearing; I'm sure of it.

OK, I looked at the stub axle that's on my shelf and luckily the end with the PN is facing out.
Very hard to read, looks like HK4016 which is a *** number, and it does say "Germany" on it.
So a quick interchange search turned up this:
http://www.consbrgs.com/page.taf?detail=218_1_56

*** -- HK 4016
IKO -- TLA 4016 Z
INA -- HK 4016
SKF -- HK 4016
SKF (Old No.) -- RHNA 404716

Good luck.

edit - Just checked mine with calipers as best as I could without removing it, and I'm confident that's the right PN.

Beats me. It's called a "stub axle" so he should be able to look it up in Microcat.

I'm furiously trying to find a National cross reference for HK4016. Thanks for the direction

Think a little more....

Could be he's not familiar with bearings and didn't know the PN is always stamped on them. If the bearing was installed PN down, he wouldn't even notice it (even knowing it was there I had to get a bright light and magnifying glass to read it).
Could be he knew that, but the PN was unreadable, which often happens.
Could be he didn't know what the part was called, so posted a pic instead so there would be no mistake. When the part was mis-identified to him he still wouldn't have been able to find a bearing PN, since he wouldn't have been looking for the right thing.

So there are other possibilities aside from stupid or lazy.

Granted he could have been less testy, but when people get testy with me for saying "search", I generally try to just ignore it so things don't escalate.

My assumption was he didn't know what the part (the stub axle) was called. I just didn't see the thread until late.

He finally figured it out; he'd have to order it: 2 days.
