  1. How did you make out with the Carra bearing spacers?

      I tried a rear wheel fitment. I understand how the spacers are used but, I screwed up and didn't want to admit it publicly.  No spacers have been cut yet because of my fuk up. I have enough of the stainless to cut these twice if needed. One of the bearings are rough so I decided to replace them. The inside spacer (between the bearings) is a tight fit so damn the torpedoes full speed ahead. I pressed the bearings out. Wrong move. I failed to note what you meant by extending the length of the inner spacer to eliminate side load on the bearing. This was a month ago and the shop was hot and I was running out of beer. Reinstalled the stock wheel instead of pressing the old bearings back in to measure what is needed. 

       

      Please correct me if wrong --- the inner spacer should extend thru the inner bearing race to flush finish? Do I understand? please reply?

      Not flush.....shoulder of spacer that slides into bearing to be 010" less than thickness of inner bearing race

      So, if the bearing race measures .500", the shoulder sliding into the bearing should measure .490"
      When looking at the total bearing pack with all shoulders .010" less than the race they go thru, you can tighten up the axle nut and all inner races will be captured and not turn rather than floating freely
      Capiche?
