MarineNYC Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Guys Im about to swap out my stock axle for a LSR Excaliber. Do I need to change the bearings? There was no previous problems with them. If you recommend the change, How much are they and where should I get them? THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csrmel Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 use a needle or safety pin and pop off the inner seal off each bearing. then use youre finger and apply a big wad of grease to the bearing cage, race and balls. pop the inner seal back on with youre thumbs. apply a light coat of grease or antiseize to the outside and inside of each bearing before putting it in the new housing. this will insure that years down the road you need to take the bearings out they will slide out easily. and applying grease to the INSIDE of the bearing under the seal will make it last for a decade or more. i always apply grease to a bearing whenever i take one out. its cheap insurance. bearings for the housing are expensive! grease is youre friend. you might even think about loading the housing up with grease after the bearings are in, but before you slide the axle in. when it comes to maintenance, you can never do too much!
