Re: PLEASE HELP-Bracket that holds carrier bearing on drive shaft
Is this the plate that mounts to the frame and then the carrier baearing mounts to it? If so mine have bolts with nuts?

Re: PLEASE HELP-Bracket that holds carrier bearing on drive shaft
It is under the back half of the cab. The plate on top has clearance holes for 3/8" and the bracket around the shaft is tapeed for 3/8" nc! The bolts will not tigten up nor is there enough room to drill and tap for 7/16!
Do i have to remove the entire drive shaft or? |

Re: PLEASE HELP-Bracket that holds carrier bearing on drive shaft
edco joe thanks for the offer i will let you know. What i have found out this is a new unit (by previous pwner) and could it possibly be METRIC bolts and that why 3/8 nc will not tighten up? Going to stop into local bolt supplier in the a.m. ,what size is just a little bigger than 3/8? pitch?
