Ugh... Stupid auto-correct... That was supposed to say "wifey"

 

Lmao.

 

Woo hoo neighbor had a hydraulic press. So old bearings are off. Prepping new carrier now.





Spartan locker





Pretty easy to install. Freezing center pin now since it is a SNUG fit and dont really want to beat on these new parts yet.

 

Nice.......

What about heating up the other parts instead?

 

No heat source

 

Good reason.

 

Setup bearings made. Just been grinding on them for about a couple hours till they all seat with out much friction. 4 bearings total

 

Grinded out





Hope this works.

 

damn you honed your own setup bearings? that's a heck of a time commitment lol

 

Didnt take too long about an hour are so and a few beers

 

Well buddy's not showing up to help me regear tonight. So i decided to remove the front brake lines. Reflare them and install the new ones.





I did a write up for flaring the steel lines. It is in the write ups section.

 

Buddy did show up sunday. We did have to move a few shims around from the stock gearing. Backlash just wasnt right with the new gears. But all finally meshed up good on the fourth pattern.

Have my spindle and carrier in freezer now and baking the bearings.





Already did the spindle it worked great.





Baked at 300 for 30 min

 

Cool, sooo. What'd your pattern look like?

Glad ya did it yourself?

 

mmmm chicken

 

He seemed to know the pattern. Me i couldnt tell.

Seemed centered and imo looked shallow but he made the point deeper would be too tight and gears would grind and fail really soon.
