<p class="MsoNormal"> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">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.
