thank you bigrob...........and slo.......the bearing is all there......just dried out and feels rough........are they that hard to get? and yes it is welded in.....

 

[ezeerider]

Where can ya get those bearings?
I need a few myself.

 

[tippycanoenm]

i spose if i had it out i could find them......but then what do i know about powells.....dont have the answer yet.....

 

[Itype2slo]

Yes. Hard to get, can you pb blaster it loose and grease it. do not remove unless you have a plan B. do your best to resuscitate it whatever wd-40 lithium or just grease make it live again:thumbsup:

Tippy
I would try to lube your existing bearing first there pretty durable..and can be saved unless some of the rollers are missing or cracked..If this is not possible try McMaster Carr

McMaster-Carr

[tippycanoenm]

amazing what a picture can tell ya........i can see how they dismount with that triple tree, but with a solid......i wonder? Thank you for the info.....tom

 

[bayareaburrito]

Tippy
with the solid tripple tree style trees once you remove the handle bars the upper tripple tree drops down allowing the lower section of the forks to be removed frome the frames steering neck..
sorry I don't have a picture I'll try to get one next week
