I'm million percent sure it is in it's right place.

that are an awful lot of percents.. :p

Can't you heat up the aluminum on a stove? (keep the bearing out first) oldest trick in the book..

RC-Monster Mike · 03.03.2006, 01:30 PM

That is a pretty high percentage! Take a picture and e-mail it to me if you want.

Guys, guys..
Calm down.

I understand your frustration Captain, Sneeck was only trying to be helpfull! don't blame eachother, it's not your own fault..

Did you tried the heating method captain?

Hey the bearing in the freezer works to. I have did that a few times on 1 to 1.

Sorry, people. I did not mean to hurt you, Sneeck. I did not even know that you've replied to my last post. It was not directed to you, really, but to the point that I can send it to FLM and get a new replacement is a bit rediculous, since the distance between me and America is pretty looooooooong. Sorry, again.

Serum, I took a deep look at the hole of the bearing and I can tell from what I see is that when you make the front hole of the hybrid faces you, the left half is quite smaller than the right half. I guess that its a factory defect. Now I really need a replacement unless I can trim it, but it seems pretty difficult to be done.

Al the ingredients are there to make a nice truck! (ark in your case...)

That bearing thing; what happens if you press them together hard Captain?

Isn't there a small part inside from the machining? it does look like only the corners are a bit too tight..

coolhandcountry · 03.04.2006, 12:50 PM

You don't want a wobble bearing. Then the shaft comes wobble. A wobble pinion shaft is not good.

Sneeck · 03.04.2006, 01:41 PM

No hard feeling's Captain. But when a part doesn't fit like it's supposed to, there is no other option then to send it back for a replacement.

Did you try to warm the caseing up useing a hair dryer?(not heating the bearing)

captain harlock · 03.04.2006, 03:32 PM

As I said earlier, the left case of the hybrid is not exactly the same as the right case. When I screw the two cases together, the pinion's bearing hardly moves. It seems as if its being under severe pressure ( the left case is pressing the cage of the bearings and the balls are hardly rolling). I really dont want to wait for another 10 days befor I could see a lovely truck in front of me. This is not my dream truck, yet, but its only the beginnig.

If any of you has something else besides the heating method..... Would a high grade sand paper do the trick? once again, please, squeez your minds and bring some ideas to solve the problem of a striving captain.

maybe on a dremel - if you have one accessable. im not sure though...

Sneeck · 03.05.2006, 02:31 AM

Could try a dremel. But be sure to not take off to much material.
