Chassis / Carrier Bearing Depth
« on: June 29, 2015, 05:34:46 PM »
As several of you know, I've been having issues with a Niche carrier I purchased. The manufacturer has agreed to refund my money, however before I send it back I want to be SURE that it is, in fact, wrong.
Issue:
It appears that the sprocket side bearing is .150" too deep; the sprocket hub will wad the seal before it seats against the bearing race. The sprocket side bearing is .150" deeper than the bearing on the brake disk side.
Request:
Can someone with a known-good assembled carrier please measure the depth from the seal face to the bearing race on each side of your carrier and tell me what your measurements are?
Disclaimer:
This is my first R, and it's a bastardized mess of cob jobs. I don't personally know anyone else that owns one, so I'm heavily relying on the internet and you fine peeps on .org as I have no other point of reference.
~Thanks much
