Where are the ball bearings actually located in the original bearing???
Under this lip at the top? Or down the side???

I just popped the old bearing out of the plastic section of the lower bearing assy, slid it into place, then slipped the new real bearing into position and fitted the retaining clip. I "just" cant get one tag of the clip into place but I'll sort that.
I'm also going to source the better 6205-2RS-1 bearing. As the one I have has a rubber dust seal, does the other one have a metal seal?
Can anyone see why this wouldn't work what ive done? Seemed extremely simple... I know I'm simple but most things I do aren't simple.

Bearing # 6205VVC4E NS7S
The ID is just a fraction to small for the shaft but I believe bearing # 6205-2RS-1 is a perfect fit. I am concerned about a rubber/plastic dust seal in an engine bay, a metal one would be perfect.

2RS = 2 rubber seals
There is a 6205 with a 1" centre hole instead of the regular 25mm too

If you want steel then 6025-ZZ-1 should be the part number. On the website below there is a C3 loose fit option which could be worth a try.

You should be able to find a ZZ version, you may have to try a couple of suppliers. I think the rubber seals will be fine, even if the rubber seal was to suffer from heat I think the bearing would still last forever.

This bearing needs the shaft skimmed down for it to have fitted.

We use 2rs seals on just about every clutch spigot job I've ever seen
I doubt you'll ever have an iusse with it... and even if you did... its a $10 bearing

Brad, do you know what the measure is from the face of the bearing to the end of the shaft? (from your pic above)

Took about 30 minutes for me to do. The steering shafts are out for a power steering kit installation though.
My only issue was fitting the C clamp which holds the end of the open outer shaft tight. Used a stainless hose clamp instead.
Looks ok as you can hardly see it there nestled in there with the headers. Holds the bearing in nice and snug.
Wire clip snapped in place first .
