LT77 Rebuild. Suffix C????

Hello to everyone!!! I have been laying low the past few years due to some life changing events :shock: :D . She is turning 5 in a month :D and I have a little more time on my hands .

It is time to tackle a rebuild on one of the LT77s. I have been reading the many posts on the forum. Looks straight forward. A lot of useful information with great pictures. Unfortunately with photobucket taking down pictures from the likes Shauuniedawn and beans blog I lost a valuable resource. I hope they can be restored somehow.

I am unclear about when the larger front bearing came into play. The 3 boxes that I have are all C suffix. CN-083454C (TR8), CL-064983C, and CL-076292C. I am going to start with one of the CL boxes. When I look at at the rimmers catalogue parts vary depending on the box number. Some sources that sell rebuild kits (bearing,gaskets,seals) list one kit for suffix C. Can anyone tell me what I have? Small bearing box or large bearing boxes?

The TR8 box has 91382 stamped in larger numbers over top of the CN number. Warranty Repair???

The transition of my weblog (link in signature) to another photo hosting site is in progress. But that will take at least a few months to complete.
The pictures that were posted on various threads sadly won't come back. Thank Photobucket for that :evil:
