AustinONeal Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 can you change the bearings on a carrier to run a 40 mill axle? I have a roundhouse carrier but i'm gettin a 40 mill axle. Can i just change the bearings or do i need to get a whole new carrier? Quote
kawiking Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 yes austin ... now is this a round house carrier or stock axle ??? ... yes on the round house... ive heard of peeps useing ceramic bearings on a stock axle . Quote

kawiking Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 yes, just pop the seals and bearings out, and get some 40 mil bearings and seals.... Quote

kawiking Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 call jeff at f.a.s.t and tell him what u are wantin to do austin, or any shop . they will just need to order the bearins for a 40 mil axle. u will prob have to take the sleeve out of the inside of the carrier since its made for a 35mm .

AustinONeal Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 ok next question, do u or anyone else know what size the bearings are for the 40 mill man dont u just know everything. thanks kawi u da man Quote
kawiking Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 lol ,austin !! no , i bought a 35 mil round house , then bought a drag axle.. so i was in the same boat. askin the same ?'s but i got hooked up on a 40 mil carrier at the last min . Quote
shanYE west Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 You'll need spacers and a different crush tube also... its a lil more then just a bearing swap. Quote
kawiking Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 what spacers shayne ? are u talkin about the tube in the middle of the carrier.... i think i took mine out on my 40mm carrier Quote
shanYE west Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 there is two lil spacers that go between the bearnins and the housing on the inside (one on ea. side)... and yeah the crush tube is that big tube insed. I got all the parts from mod quad when I converted my carrier over to 40mm So if your putting the bearings in.. you'll have the crushtube in the middle.. then spacer.. then your bearings... then the seals.

kawiking Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 man dont u just know everything. thanks kawi u da man u see austin , i only knew half of what i was talkin about .. lol thanks shayne Quote

shanYE west Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 okay ill prolly just call modquad because im not seeing anything on their web site. and do you know how much they were when you got them I think it was like 20 bucks for the crush tube and spacers... Dont quote me on that.. but it was around there. Not sure on what they want for bearings. Quote
