[Fot] Spit Axles

[Bud Rolofson]

Mark,

Is the brass piece in these pics below what you are looking for? I don’t have a source but thought a pic might help. These came with my axles.

To remove the axle bearings you have to use a chisel and pop one or both sides of the press on axle bearing retaining ring to spread it a small amount so it’ll come off the axle. Then the bearing can come of and the brake backing plate comes off. Iinstallation is the opposite except you use a drum brake backing plates. When I used to work for BCA a thousand years ago we sold replacement press on retaining rings.  So I went to the local industrial bearing distributor, they got the roller bearings, they got the seals they got the inner needle bearings I need  but they say they haven’t seen a press on retainer ring in a zillion years.
