KaosBanshee44 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Man any kind of bearings for anything is easy to get out but i recomend replacing anything that has to do with bearings. You don't wanna risk anything. I've been there done that. Quote
black sunshine Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 They can be stubborn if they are siezed or otherwise mangled and locked up on the axle. There is the clymers manual for a written procedure to guide you along :thumbsup: Quote
bushka Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 its pretty easy i never even looked at a manual, and this is my first banshee.....may seem tuff but its not!! :cool: Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Does the stock carrier have a spacer in the middle? I havnt changed them in so long... If so dont forget to put it in :thumbsup: Eric Quote

wrecker03 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Yes the stocker has a spacer.While you have it tore down do the grease zert mod to the carrier... My bearings were seized and we had one hell of a time getting them apart. Putting them back together was simple. Heat up the carrier, put the bearings in the freezer for a while and when you go to put them back together the bearings will fall right into place. When the carrier cools and the bearings warm it'll be like a press fit. I don't see the use of putting the grease zerk in the carrier. The axle itself rides on the bearings which are sealed. What's filling the carrier with grease going to do? The bearings and seals are supposed to keep any contamination out of the carrier...supposed to anyway. I think the spacer is in there for strength more than anything? I guess it doesn't hurt but if you don't run the zerk through the spacer then the grease is only between the spacer and the carrier and nothing between the spacer and the axle, and what good does that do?

2strokecoldsmoke Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 Get yourself a Clymer manual, they are packed with good info. I just replaced my bearings and seals this past weekend, had to take the entire carrier off an press the sons a bitches out, they were pretty rusty. Use anti-seize when putting it back together. While your axle is out, if you have the tools check it for straightness and damage. I did alot of dicking around and I managed to get it done in about 2 hours. If I had to do it again it would take 45 minutes. Quote

The grease zerk is to fill the carrier full of grease. Onece it is full you give it a couple of pumps and it forces grease into the bearings. It has nothing to do with keeping the sleeve lubercated on the axle. Quote

The grease zerk mod is great, if you remove the inner seal from each bearing, so that the grease gets to each bearing. It will make them last a long time. I did the grease zerk mod, and new bearings over 5 years ago, and I still have the same bearings in it, and they are still in good shape. The grease zerk mod is more of a preventative maintenance mod, than anything else. Your parts will last a lot longer, and keep the rust, and corrosion at bay. Quote
