BEARING RETAINER REAR WHEEL 26TPI
Rear wheel bearing retainer, 26 TPI, part 37-1021 (also W1021), holds the rear hub bearing seated in place.
This is the bearing retainer for the rear wheel, listed in our records under 37-1021 (also shows up as W1021 in the older letter-prefix numbering). It lives in the rear wheel hub assembly and its job is to hold the wheel bearing in place against the hub, keeping it seated correctly rather than letting it work loose or walk sideways under load.

It shows up in the rear wheel figures across a run of catalog years, so it's a part that stuck around in the same form for a good while. The description notes a 26 TPI thread on the retainer.
If you're chasing wheel bearing play or noise out back, this retainer is one of the things worth checking along with the bearing itself. Give the shop a call if you want us to confirm it matches what's currently in your hub before you order.
