Chassis

Hey everyone, I currently have a Labeda Pro Extreme Edge chassis on the CCM 852 goal tacks. I also use Red Star "Gardien" wheels. I'm telling you this becuase maybe it will help you asses my problem... I want to thoroughly clean my bearings and spacers, but of all of the bearing pushers I have, none will work w/ these specific spacers. Do you have any insights? Thanx

Having double checked my RedStar catalog to make sure of the bearings used, unless your bearing/spacer combo is weird any standard pusher should handle the job. I use Guardian's exclusively and have never had any trouble pulling the bearings and this is something that I do once a month.

Well, this might help a lil bit more. The spacer seemed to be shaped differently than any other ones I have ever used. They seem to be a disk shape... I think they came w/ the Labeda chassis?

I'm not even sure this is relevent or not, but I ran into a bit of a weird set up on my new missions, and it may be the same type of thing that you've got.

This is not your typical axle type set up where the bearings slide onto each end of the alluminum spacer, and then the axle(bolt) slides throught the whole assembly.

The system I now have uses larger axle bolts, and no aluminum spacer, only a plastic spacer that floats between the bearings.

A normal bearing "pusher" will not work on this type of set up due to the fact that it is the same size as the axle it's self.

What I do is take an "L" shaped allen wrench and poke the angled end of the wrench half way through the wheel/bearing set up so that the end of the angled side of the wrench is even with the middle of the spacer. You should be able to feel the spacer move as you begin to pry out on the straight end of the allen wrench, giving you a "bite" on the insde edge of the bearing. The bearing should pop out with minimal effort. Once you have one side out, do the same to the other side.

One thing I've found is that it can be a little tricky lining the floating washer up to slide the axle bolt through the frame/wheel/bearing assembly

Like I said, I'm not even sure if this is the set up you've got or not, but good luck anyway!
