How often do you travel to your shop, if you calculated in your fuel, wear and tear on your vehicle plus your time traveling has value as well. I’m thinking it would be more efficient and cost effective to put the 100,000.00 you were going to put into the old shop into building a new shop in...

I think I could be more accurate with a dial bore guage and then use the outside micrometers to measure that reading. I think the inside micrometers are a little tricky to use, or so I’ve read. Not sure what you mean here?

Just to be clear. I’m asking everyone here. I know I’ve gotten the answer to this already but that sleeves ID was to small correct?

Nice, I usually turn on a little space heater I have in my shop, set the bearing in front of the space heater for half an hour or so, put whatever part I’m pressing it into into the freezer overnight and yea, near no pressure at all to put them in. This is great though, now I won’t need to heat...

In this case, 28 to 31mm

This is what I was using to measure. I have a set of Mitutoyo and Starrett outside micrometers that I’ve used a few times for engine rebuilding but I hate using them since I need to re learn every time how to use them, but they are not proper in this instance either correct? I don’t have a dial...

Thanks for weighing in. As I’ve mentioned above I’m guilty of buying wheel bearings and pressing them into the steering knuckle and pressing the hub into the new bearing without measuring. My procedure had been as simple as cross checking part numbers with OEM numbers and sometimes maybe taking...

That’s what I’m going to do. I’m not pushing any harder on this, it’s the wrong size and I see that now, and I can if I could press it another mm the new besring is noisy now and I can’t leave it like that

I ordered the kit off EBay, can’t remember the manufacturer off hand. Oddly the bearing fit perfectly as did the oil seal. I wanted to order from Sparex because watched a video of a fellow who looked like he knew what he was doing and he used Sparex parts but the dealer I spoke to couldn’t seem...

Yes, there is a shoulder there

Thank you, I think I got it, I should be looking for roughly .003” then . As I mentioned, I’ve never really payed much attention to the ID of the bearing/collars before. It’s always been automotive, ATV, Snowmobile stuff and I’ve always ordered the correct part’s luckily but this time that...

I wouldn’t know if it makes sense or not but this is the pto axel before I disassembled it, collar, bearing collar, snap ring that you can see if you zoom in on the implement side. They did require the press to remove the 3 but they were not super tight

Just for future reference, your saying that the collar being .010” ID smaller than the OD of the axel is to tight? I think the ID of this collar was about .055” smaller than the shaft.

Makes sense, there would be pressure on both sides of that inner race. I do believe the first collar to go on the axel before the bearing went in fairly easily since the axel was frozen, the collar pre heated and the fact that it was an original collar so it fit correctly, but yes maybe not the...
