Has anyone done this or tried putting a grease zerk in the stock ds bearing carrier? Can it be done?

 

you probily could do it but i dont really think you would need to.. the DS has taperd berings stock.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i don't believe it would work, since the way the chain tensioner is built i don't think its possible,someone just came out with a new carrier with built in zerk fitting, i thinks its $250 and comes with bearings, it is found here,and no you don't need it, but it sure would lengthen the life of the bearings and save you money

 

Hoover650 says: Dont wasteyour time....sealed bearings in my Baja...would do this much of good----0%

 

This is why I asked the question!

You might want to check those axle bearings once in awhile!

 

well i think my bearings might be starting to go again [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img], so i might look into which would be cheaper in the long run, does anyone know the number of the tapered bearings in the stock ds?

BTW, I will be ordering the rad billet tapered bearing carrier for mine.

 

those are the bombardier part #s right? i meant the number that it actually says right on the bearings

 

Yeah, those are bombardier #'s. I didn't have enough metal left to read the actual numbers from the bearings! ..lol sorry.

 

lol, hopefully someone else has them, i forgot to right them down wen i did it
