The Kaiser-Frazer parts lists for 1951-54 Henry J (the 1954 will be same as 1953 since 1954 was a build-out using 1953 parts, etc) show the same part numbers for bearings as the 1951-52 Vagabonds.  The February 1953 parts list supplement for the HJ (last one issued by Kaiser-Frazer) does show a different rear axle assembly part number for 1952-54 models; teetn are different between ring and pinion. 

The Parts List supplements for  the 1952-54 Corasir platform HJ's as well as the 1952 Henry J Vagabond (with exploded drawing of the Continental Tire Kit) are on the KFOCI HANDBOOK CD'S.  You should have received a copy of Version 5.0 (which has the supplements) when it was released back in 2013.  Version 6.0 will be on the club website as current laptop computers for the most part do not have either a CD drive or USB Ports to read the CD, DVD or flash drive types of storage media.
