RIZZA Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 hey all, just replace the carrier , its a standard one, (bought from ebay all rebuilt including bearings installed with spacer etc) got it all back together and gone to tighten my axle nuts and if i lock the first one up it is damn difficult to spin the carrier on the axle freely (which doesnt seem right), but if I back it off slightly its still tight but not so bad. Does it only need a pre load or should it be locked up? HELP HELP! thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 With the carrier in your hand, and no axle in it, the spacer tube should be snug in between the bearings. If it's loose, when you tighten down the nuts, it puts the bearings in a bind. I have seen a carrier before that had a previous catastrophic bearing failure and the bearing shoulder that the bearing is supposed to press against was mooshed over which made the distance between the shoulders wider than the length of the tube. If the bearings won't press in far enough to make the tube snug, you need to take the bearings out and inspect. It's also possible for the tube to be worn down on the ends from rattling around.
