How's the rad bearing carrier. Does it have the external grease fitting? Nice trike.

Yes the rad bearing carrier has the external grease fittings. I bought the unit that uses the tappered bearings. I was a little upset with the instructions. They said in big bold letters DO NOT REMOVE GREASE SEAL. Then in the next line they say to hand pack the bearings with grease. I call Rad manufacturing and talk to a broad. She arrgues with me that you do not remove the seals. I tell her that to hand pack the bearing with grease you must remove the seal. She keeps saying dont do that. I finally said then why do your instructions say HAND PACK THE BEARING?. She says well, then hesitates and says I dont know. I say lady have you ever hand packed a bearing. She says well no but maybe we need to look at our instructions. I say good idea and hang up. I Hate when the put an idiot on the phone to answer questions and they do not know crap about the product or how to install it. Oh well sorry for ranting just makes me mad. Glenn O

if you use a oring pick you can get the seals out without hurting them,, and if you think about it ,,,,,,, how does the grease fitting work if you leave the seals in???? grease won't pass into the bearing with the SEAL IN PLACE,, i always take the inner seal out anyway then you can hand pack it ,,,

grease is more weight.. you can just leave it out.. lol
