Lower knuckle bearing caps??
« on: May 28, 2009, 09:18:29 PM »
So, looking at the lower caps for my axle, they are pretty rusty and I'm thinking that a new set would be in order.  I'd love to go with Marlin's new 25mm ones, but the $$ is kinda too much right now.  And the only company that is selling these factory ones are (I don't want to say it  :lipsrsealed: ) Trail Gear.  

So, does anybody know of another company that is selling them new?  There are other sites, but they are TG's caps.  

If I have to go used, then I'll contact a few members when that time comes around.  I would love to go all out on this axle, but my wallet is telling me different.  So, thanks for helping!

And if Marlin ever gets in the knuckle rebuild kits, I'll order that as soon as they hit the shelves.

WT just told me to sandblast them and I'll be good to go.  If you don't ask, you don't know.  I'm just getting information, (doing my research) so I know what to do when I do it!

Thanks DTB
