My current bearings on my Max II are of BCA Vanguard series (vanguard refers to the type of seal). The number on the bearings is 'W 103-2' and also what appears to be a '2-EOIM' on one of the rims.

I am looking to replace them but cannot find the exact number on the internet so I am assuming the number has changed somewhere along the line.

I have taken some measurements and done some poking around and found that bearings having the number NPS-103-RP2C seem to be the ones I want.

Can someone verify this? Anyone use these on their MAX II?

Steven, The replacement bearings I have are: BCA bearing #WPS103GR2ANC. On the other thread, the belt number is right (current number is 15252AA) not sure on length, but width appears to be 3/16 inch. Book says to replace it when it is 1/16 wide. If you will use belt dressing (I use liquid stuff and put it on both edges with my finger) you will have increased belt life and excellent performance.

After double checking, the ones listed above have a narrow collar....I need any of the following

BCA WPS103GR2C (R means it has a relube hole)
FAFNIR G1103GR2C (1st G means it has a relube hole)

BCA WPS103GP2c (P is for permanent lube)
1103KRRB2 (No leading G means no relube hole)

Not sure if the last one is correct, but anyone have a URL where I can get these online.
