[knsmodels]

alright I finally got my rear carrier all apart after fightin with the axel nut for a few days....well the carrier came out in pcs (all around the brake perch just crumbled).....guess it was bad for awhile and everything was getting beat up as I drove it.....so I need a carrier and all the orings that used to be in there......I am trying to get this back together by Wednesday for the long 4th weekend....where is the best place to get the parts and quickly?? does not have to be stock as have seen the billiet ones on ebay but really dont trust the bay for this part....any help would be appreciated....

The $100 double row bearings on eBay are nice.I bought one.

what year? I have a perfect 85 I can throw in the mail fast,, good bearings and seals $125 shipped FAST

its an 86 but thanks Kasey......if no one has any better ideas I may just roll the dice on an ebay one and get expedited shipping.....

just so you know, I bought a lone star double row carrier off of ebay, 3 years ago and it's still fine...

When you install,litely grease the areas the bearings slip into. Get a propane torch and warm up the carrier. This is after the bearings have been in the freezer for about an hour or so. They will slip rite in with little to no effort at all. Then just slip in the dust seals. Dont forget the spacer in the middle of the carrier between the bearings.

If your carrier is that nad I think you should be checking the seal races on your sprocket hub, and the disc brake hub. Otherwise I'd bet you'll be replacing the carrier bearings often.

I've got an 86 Carrier than needs bearings if you want.

Good luck!

i had a rad billet carrier on my old 350x i got off ebay and it was great

[knsmodels]

Yeah I guess this is not looking good....I was wondering about the seal races on both the sprocket and brake myself.....it also has a durablue axel so not sure the sprocket one is stock....

[Tyler 54]

Post pics dude!! Then maybe somebody can chime in if you are un sure of condition. You can stil buy dura blue sprocket hubs.

Stil plenty of time to get this thing fixed

Well got out there today and cleaned the grease off of things and there is no need to post up pics....the race areas are chewed up to bad for any type of seal to last....I have access to a lathe and could clean them up but they would be undersized for sure and would not seal very well....

If you find a TRX 250X or 300EX carrier local,that will go in a 86 350X. Going new is of course best. IF,you end up putting bearings in a used one you find. make SURE the center pipe is to spec,which it won't be.. Another good reason for going new..

[knsmodels]

thanks 007.....does anyone have the specs on the center pipe??
