    Bearing Carrier Help, Please.

    I bought a billit bearing carrier for my 84 250R and it was tough to get it in. I greased it up really good and honed the fame with a cylinder honing tool. I got it in but now it is time to adjust the chain and it is TIGHT. I tried a and driver and it just digs into the carrier. Has anybody else ran into this? If so what did you have to do?

    If I am forced to buy the spanner wrench does anyone have a link to where I can get one?

    Thanks in advance.

    It should not be that tight - especially if new. There should be bolt in the bottom to keep the carrier from spinning the whole way around - you are not hung on it are you?

    Post a picture of what you are dealing with.

    most aftermarket carriers don't use that bolt. My lsr and Rad ones don't. I believe only stock use that bolt. Are you sure you have the right one?? It should've went right in w/o fighting. Yes, the right spanner tool is a must. If I remember correctly, it has little notches in it, just like the 85 carrier.

    I have the same carrier and the same bike. Did you get it to fit right? Am I going to run into issues?
