I had especially bad bearings inside my Suzuki King Quad hubs (see previous thread) which I eventually I had to get CUT out by a machinist. In doing so he also destroyed the spacers that go between the inboard and outboard bearings. I'm not talking about the shoulders that the bearings butt up against inside the hub, but the spacer which is the same size as the bearing I.D. and sits loosely between them.
Anyway, to make a long story short, The people down at the local Suzi shop can't even find them in the parts catalog, so I'm out of luck in ordering them. I decided to put the bearings and seals in without these spacers. I'm thinking that since the axles ride only on the inside of the bearings, unless the bearings got sloppy, these spacers wouldn't do anything. Am I right? Or am I screwed (since the bearings are already in there)?
Hoping for a good answer, but bracing for the worst.
