kev Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Very interesting. Just am wondering how they checked that it was in 'spec'. And what was the 'spec' they used. Makes sense that the balls would wear the track being they are chrome plated but would it wear symmetrically? Such that just a larger ball would repair it without possibility of binding? I'm curious to hear how it performs. Wonder who the supplier is for OS ball bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 they stated they carry many different size ballbearingsand mine being 4 over size = 4 thousandths was unusual.they usually see 1 maybe 2 over but not 4. when i told themthe box was from an 89 they were like now that makes sense. i sent them the link to your rebuild like 2 weeks before i sentthem my box and a link to the manual on starquestgarage.comeven though it was of the 88. they had some prep time. i doubtthey even checked the manual. but i know they peeked at thepost you made on the rebuild of the gear box. I have mixed feelings about going this route. all i can hope for isit works and lasts. at least for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I wouldn't have mixed feelings. They do this for a living and I would expect that they know what they r doing. They probably can feel by hand a sloppy reciprocating ball system. So I have a lot of respect for that. Being the type of person I am, I just try to process what they did and why. I'm very interested how it works in the end. And where to purchase os ball bearings. 4 mils is fairly big for that size ball, I do agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edde Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 You just bought 10+ years more than likely. Decent deal if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
