EvilRufusKay Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Does anyone know if the re-drilled stubs you get back from Ross have new bearings pressed on? I am sending mine in today with the bearings still attached and wondered if I should get a new set or not. Unfortunately, Ross is out of town, and his site only says that the old bearings will be pressed off, and says nothing about re-installing after drilling. Thanks!

shauno Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 No, you do not get new bearings. I guess if you ask him he might do it but for a fee of course. I replaced mine while they were out and you can press them back on alot easier than removing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagz Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I shipped my old stubs minus the bearings. Ross sold me the bearings/seals with my stubs, but they were separate. I put everything together myself pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolane Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Wagz, How did you assemble the bearings onto your stubs? Did you press them on before inserting into the strut housing, or can you pull them together using the stub axle nut? I just got the bearing set, billet stubs and billet companions from MM last week.

spotfitz Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 When I was rebuilding my stub axles I took them to a machine shop with the new bearings and told them I wanted new studs aswell. They supplied me with the new studs and pulled the old and pressed the new bearings for $40. Dropped them off in the morning and picked them up that afternoon.

I checked the bearings and found that I needed new ones anyway, so i just left 'em on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolane Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I will add that although the bearing set from Ross may seem expensive, the complete set was cheaper than my local autoparts store on exactly the same components (brand and model number). I can recommend Ross highly, he is a great guy to do business with! Joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
