Yeah Phil (and list),
The wheel bearings are in stock... not a problem, as
the front wheel bearing for cars with ABS use the same
as all the 505s use on the rear wheel... a huge double
row ball bearing so there isn't any play in the wheel
like you have on the regular 505s that use two tapered
roller bearings.
The problem these days is getting new spindle nuts and
oil seals. If the old oil seal is ok, then you can
reuse it, but the spindle nut (which is punched to
lock it in place) is designed for one time use only...
