SUMMARY
It is possible to replace SKF bearings and housings with FAG types, as most bearings are standardized and available from multiple manufacturers. The discussion emphasizes the importance of identifying the specific SKF part numbers to find the corresponding FAG equivalents. Users are encouraged to provide these part numbers for accurate cross-referencing. This interchangeability is a common practice in the bearing industry.
