I managed to get some time to remove the bearing cups from my hubs to see if I can get a part number.
Managed it and if anyone is interested the part number for the bearing cups is 4T-JL68111Z
(Not 100% it will be the same for all escorts)

Why would you want the bearing cups on there own ?
Bearings are made as a pair inner & outer so if you match an inner with a different outer the bearings won't last as long as they should do.

Im replacing the bearing cups due to them being sandblasted by the company that did all my powder coating so they are no good due to them being rough now and not smooth as they should be.
I also have all new bearings already so it will be as new.

I have been unable to get any, went on ebay lots of bearing set have them in the picture but after asking the sellers they say they don't come with them.
At least I can get hold of them I was worried I was going to have to buy new hubs and have them coated.

What the above said. All taper bearing kits I have bought until this point have come with the bearing cups as well as the taper bearings themselves.
Now here is an interesting question (and a potential hijack!). Do the Escort bearing require pressing in or simply changing like most other taper bearings (i.e with sockets etc.)? I ask as there was a debate not too long ago where certain folk thought that the MkIII/IVs were a press in job only. I initially disagree but OTOH 200NM is alot of torque for a taper bearing which generally require a very slight (well, generally barely any preload) to last any length of time.
