SAVAGE420 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 So I was talking in the shout box awhile ago. Talking about a bearing replacement for the upper stem mount where there is a shit oem bushings . I can't remember who said that they know of a company that makes a aftermarket clamp and bearing to replace the stock junk. My bushing and clamp are worn out, so I want to stick a bearing there with my new LSR stem. Nutwood, was it you I was taking to about it? Quote
special06shee Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Hmm. How would that work? 2piece bearing?? Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 Ya, 2 piece split bearings or some shit like that. Sent from my shed. Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 I remember seeing somebody who made a replacement unit that was still a two piece bushing like the factory unit, but it had a grease zerk on it and an internal groove to feed the grease all the way around the stem........ Don't recall who made it...... 1 Quote
Coupelx Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Grease is a terrible idea for that area. It would be a mess. find a TFE ring from a hydraulic cylinder or similar piece of slick self lubing plastic, clamp stem bracket in 4jaw chuck and bore a groove to fit. I cut an exhaust oring to fit in mine and its better but still needs help. Quote
87sheerips Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 I could make something out of delrin. Those little o rings are a terrible design, lets come up with something. 3 Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Hmm. Take it out every now and then put in grease? Regular maintenance? Quote
