Just did a brake check on the new (to me) DAF 46 and found the front wheel bearings, both inner and outer are the same as a number of cars, particularly the older VW Beetle with either disc or drum brakes.
Part numbers: Outer small bearing: L11749 cone L11710 cup - A1 Bearing set Inner large bearing: L44649 cone L44610 cup - A4 Bearing set.
As for the seal, well... not sure about that one yet. Mine appear to be good and reusable. The part number I seem to be able to read in it is 3852/7

yes sir, thats a standard oil seal code (inner-outer diam and height in mm) so you should be able to get one from any OEM seal supplier.
You might get a complete set of bearings&seal&nut from SKF under no VKBA502, or TIMKEN 60/11, or FAG 713660110. Same as for V66 and V343 old type up to 1978, if that's still in the catalogue.
I always note (in the DAF part catalogue) any codes on packaging when i buy stuff at the universal autoshop. When they throw away the old books (and the computer systems are fed with recent data only) i still have the numbers!
Hope this helps, very nice Daf by the way! Surprising to see it next to some widely acclaimed Fiat classics, that wouldnt happen here in Holland!
Good luck!
Andre.

Great to know the p/n on my seal dictates the dimensions of the seal - thanks! Wheel bearing job is done.
Here's a list of whats been done to butterscotch in the last 3 weeks: Oil Change / pickup screen clean - 20w50 Castrol GTX Brake Shoe Adjustment Air filter replacement Vacuum hose replacement as needed Timing and idle adjust to spec Re-thread and replace missing screws/bolts on motor Remove tires from wheels and repaint wheels - add new tires 155/65-14 (2 of 4, 2 were lost in transit ugh) Add excite wire to alternator (now charges and light on dash works) Repair rear license plate flap Repair exhaust hangers and add tip Adjust valves Re-clamp inner CV Boots Repair license plate lamp
Here's the todo list before it leaves the driveway on jack stands: Get 2 more tires UGH Adjust Variomatic belt Lubricate steering linkage and rack Lubricate ball joints Replace fluid in vario and rear differential (need to find the correct gear oil) Chase down simple oil leaks and plan for the more intensive oil leaks (pushrod tube seals) Replace oil pressure switch (I think it's partially clogged)
Hopefully all will be attended to by this time next week.

lubricate ball joints? The DAF was the very first car in history (medio 1959) that did not have any grease nipples, all ball joints were rubberlined and maintenance free. So are the ones on your 46. Including those of the steering linkage.
it might be an ''oldtimer'' but being a DAF it is still rather advanced for its time :-)
btw, we in Holland call that typical 70s color ''peanutbutter''. there are however less complimentary names around...
PS gearboxes and diff: EP80 standard manual gearbox oil, vario discs: ATF A/A - i suppose you can get that off the shelf.

So if I read correctly, what you are saying is the ball joints and steering tie rode ends not only do not have grease fittings, but they do not have any grease in them as well? Modern cars without grease fittings still have grease in them, you just are not supposed to service them (but you can by piercing the rubber bellows, filling them with grease, then plugging the piercing with rtv or something suitable). The linkage is tight and the joints groan when you turn the wheel from side to side. I feel they will just disintegrate if I just leave them alone.

indeed, they are meant to be maintenance free. just replace when worn out ( >1.5 mm play). should be something like 10$ (15 euro) each i think. There is a nylon seat in there that does not like oil or grease. So any injections with these substances would be at your own peril. but of course you can experiment with that (maybe silicone spray might be useable), just be sure to check regularly whether the joints show a significant increase in play. Also check the similar main ball joints at the spring ends, i think those may be groaning.
