<div dir="ltr"><div>Hey Mark.</div><div> Not sure of the specific axle your talking about but if it's similar to my old jeep, it should be easy enough to make a shrink fit collar to retain the axle. Make a sleeve which is .001 / inch of diameter smaller than the axle. So 1.25 x.001= .00125 dia. smaller in the case of a 1.25 dia. axle. Heat it up and put it on. When it cools , it will not come off... If you do need to remove it you can probably get it off by reheating. The reheating end of things can be a little iffee.. Most decent machine shops can make an accurate sleeve.</div><div> P.J.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 17, 2018 at 1:33 PM, DPPI - Mark Craig via Fot <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot@autox.team.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt">Had to take a rear axle disc brake set up off a SCCA Spit so I can run it in vintage. To do that you got to remove the axle bearings. 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. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
