Surfrjag Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Im trying to get this lsr drag axle installed and seems like both the brake and sprocket hubs touch the carrier and not the bearings. what am i missing here? do i need a specific carrier or some spacers?

Starwriter Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm gonna take a guess that the carrier is set up for double row bearings(2 rows of balls in a single bearing) and somebody put in single row bearings. You need to make sure the proper bearings are in there and the spacer pipe is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Also, for what it's worth, you can't convert a 35mm carrier to 40mm or vice versa. The bearing spacing just doesn't jive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ok thanks, i bought the carrier used so hopefully i can just buy a set of bearings and go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chere Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Your carrier is is missing the seals on both ends that wrap around both hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I know but the hubs dont press on seals they should rest past the seal on the bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 so a little update.. the carrier already had 2 single bearings on each side my hub depth is 14.5mm and the carrier to bearing depth is 14.5mm so.. I don't know if its a 35mm carrier someone put 40mm bearings into or what? I did notice though that there is no spacer tube in the center between the bearings.

Surfrjag Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 distance of the bearings on the carrier is 121mm I don't know if anyone knows what 40mm vs 35mm carrier demensions are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Is it possible the bearings are just drove in too far since center tube is missing ? Or is there seats that prevent this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 There is a seat. But thanks for the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert0762 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 you need the spacer tube and two bearings on each side. I bought a used carrier and someone did the same thing . Trying to run a twin row with no spacer and only two bearings will not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 So the bearings dont touch the seat they touch the crush tube spacer? But if you put one side bearings in all the way then that hub will touch the carrier.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 have you contacted LSR? seems a call to them would clear this right up. The crush tube should be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yes i talked to bobby and im waiting on an email back. Its saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm sure your suspicion about someone trying to convert a 35 carrier to 40 is probably correct. A single row 40 bearing is narrower than a 35. They left the tube out because obviously a 40mm axle won't go through a 35mm tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
