OK, I changed tires to shinko 244 series front and back, as I understand these tires can be used for either front or back, i assume that means that there is no rotation arrows on these tires whatsoever, anyway i noticed last night that the right side brake disc was against the fork, i took the allen bolt out of the axle and it moved out away from fork, Now mind you I just put the front tire on and had to DRIVE the axle in, SOOOO this morning I starting DRIVING the axle out with a socket and behold I notice on the right side the bearing has come out and stuck on the axle, anyway got that off and the spacers etc and straightened the lips of the spacer cups , i have taken 600 grit wet dry sandpaper to the end of the axle as i saw some nicks on it and smoothed it up, i cannot get the axle thru the bearings at all, matter of fact i would have to drive the axle in to get them on, i know its close tolerance but damn not that much..
So I am assuming something was not lined up when i installed and frigged the bearings on both sides, have both of them out and about to go get 2 new ones, any thoughts on this? Do the spacer cups and end of axle look ok to you guys????
