And I agree on the ATE brake fluid - I've used it for years.

The bell shaped center section kept the flange from departing and the brake caliper bracket helped, which was damaged and needed replaced. It snapped in the middle of a turn, it really didn't loose traction at all when it happened, just a bang sound, but I slowed to about 40 and cam in.
It's National Federal Mogul, but depending who sells them, they are not all the same. It lasted longer than most I've had, over 10 events and the bearing was still tight when it snapped. I've heard of c5s doing the same thing.
The National on the other side is still going strong and is tight, but feels like it's out of grease. Autozone Timken, and Pepboys SKF was 1 day and the bearing was sloppy, and mid america no brand bearing after one day had enough play to grind the antiskid sensor down to a nub. The newer style SKF, from a post I've seen, with the sensor attached seem durable, but haven't tried those yet.
The National was replaced with AC Delco and after about 4 events, it's still tight. (newer style with the sensor)
