Read awhile back on the forum of a member that had a collar made up to place on the tube where the carrier bearings wear on the tube. I would like to go in that direction on mine. Looking for info and help in getting the sleeve and size of bearings.

Sorry... been busy lately lol and not a whole lot to talk about with the Axe.. Shane and I did the repair sleeve and replaced the bearings to allow for the new diameter. I'm very happy with how it turned out and the Axe has been running flawless since. The trick will be either finding a suitable sleeve, or have one made by a machine shop. There is a machine shop technician that is active here on the forum, his handle is 'CD Industries'.. His name is Chris and he made the sleeve that Shane and I are using. I'll hunt down the posts that detail the repair and post it here.

See if Chris can make you a sleeve with these dimensions or maybe he can find tubing already with these dimensions.
5" ID
5.25" OD
3" length
Note that the thickness of the sleeve will be 1/8 inch. Then split the sleeve in half with a wire saw at a machine shop, maybe chris can do that too? The reasoning to use the wire saw is because it will only remove .012" of material, this will keep the gap between the splits minimal. Unless there is a better way... I'm not a machinist so maybe I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be.
The bearings are listed in the picture. You'll need 6 of them.

Do not know what you mean saying I was all over checking I only posted on this forum. Sorry for my mentality yes I am a new member. Tried to contact CD Industries by company e-mail and by phone with no response also sent message to his personal e-mail listed on the forum and no response. Sent a private message to welder1187on the 17th of April.

Don't mind Fred, he's just bored lol.. Thank you for the update, hopefully Chris will get back to you. If not, I gave you all the dimensions you need to have a machine shop make a sleeve for you and the new bearings you'll need in this thread. Good luck, I hope to hear that you make progress with it[email protected] wrote: ↑Wed. Apr. 28, 2021 2:54 pmDo not know what you mean saying I was all over checking I only posted on this forum.
