Hello Cherokee forum!

Have a quick question for you guys! I got too excited installing my rear main seal and accidently dropped the main bearing cap and put a slight dent in the bearing. Kinda strange how this had to be the main point of contact when falling lol. I only dropped it from a few inches off the ground.

My question is if I sand the corner down a bit with fine sand paper would I be safe using this bearing? Or should I replace it. I'm not pulling the crank out to replace the top bearing! Please let me know what you guys think!

And I apologize for the really stupid question!

Just file the burr off so it doesn't stick out the side or into the journal. Then you will be good to go

 

Awesome will do, thanks for your response!
