Topic: Conversion sleeves to run a 4 cyl carrier in a V-6 housing?

[Aaronm]

Long story short I have a 4cyl ARB that is no longer able to be converted to the 50 mm V6 . I have a V6 high pinion that takes the bigger 50 mm inside diameter bearing. I need a sleeve that I can press on my ARB that is 45mm inside diameter and 50mm outside diameter and is made out of bearing quality steel. How hard would it be to make this sleeve if I contact a machine shop?

Got to ask?
Why no longer able to be converted

I think these are the opposite of what I need. If I am reading it right these are made to install a V6 ARB into a 4cyl housing. I need the exact opposite 4cyl ARB into a v6 housing. Thank you for responding and the post.

My ARB is old. Very old

Call Arb ask them if it's possible. Every time I have asked them questions they have been great.

What's the OD of the 50mm bearing?


You might be able to find a bearing that has the 45mm ID with the 50mm OD

I think the 45mm and 50mm have the same OD.......

I then checked some parts at rockauto.

Use a 91 pickup with V6.

The 45 and 50mm bearings were only different in ID...


I know you can use a 6cyl carrier in the 4cyl case.     You only had to change to the 6cyl (50mm) bearings.

Looks like the opposite is possible.......

Some different info on the bearings:    shows different OD's, but has a solution.

I found that some link and called Davez. He is out of stock and doesn't currently have any coming in. I would buy from him in a minute if he had some available. My problem is simply that I want my rig back together yesterday. It has already sat for 3 weeks and I'm ready to get it dirty.

They are great to work with but in this case it's just to old. I even asked about taking my internal parts and swapping them into a newer carrier and that's not possible. It's just old

The inside diameter is the killer on these there are bearings that will allow a v-6 carrier to work in a 4cyl housing but not 4cyl carrier in a v-6 housing. If anyone finds a part number please let me know. In the pirate thread there was a guy who said that he had found some Volvo transmission bearings that were tapered rolling bearings that could work but he never posted the part numbers.
