Ok, nsk 6402 dua 17. Impossible to find

Is this solution any good? Itīs easy enough to knock out some spacers.
Do they use some kind of special 6402 bearing in this kit?

I don't think so. You are replacing the double row bearing, which according to Porsche data given in a recent law suit, has a failure rate of less than 1%, to a single row which has a failure rate of 8+ percent. Just get the LN dual row replacement. Expensive, but proven.

I believe the bearing designation for the double is 5204, but "double" check that as I've only sourced a single 6204.
