Ebody disk brake spindle service measurements??? - 03/22/10 12:10 PM
Are there measurments for the spindle diameter where the bearings sit? I have a little bearing slop after greasing and adjusting my front wheel bearings. The spindle looks a little worn where the puter bearing rides so I'd like measure it

maybe I can ask a different question-
anyone know what the clearance is between the bearings and the spindle? I know there has to be some slight clearance so the inner race wont turn but what is it?

If The bearing and spindle is new should have a SLIP FIT of .0015 (1 1/2 thousands), anything more than .005 (5 thousands) will cause galling/grooving to the spindle's surface, sleeves are available to repair worn spindles, but that will require machining,... new/ good used spindles are a much more viable alternative
