Tore my truck down tonight and found 6 seized bearings - the big ones on the front diff, and one set on a front axle and one. On the rear. Gotta make a shopping list for replacements.

Any hope of "fixing" a seized bearing by blasting it out with wd40? Or is it easier to just replace the stock bearings?

Buy new bearings there a buck each. Avid is pretty good

Does anyone know what size bearings go in the Castle 1410 and where I can get them at?

They make a rebuild kit. Saw a bunch on ebay.

So we glue the inset in with CA glue, that's it?

Hi Guys,
I am about to buy some upgrades for my scte. Budget is $250. What would be the best performance increase for the buck? Currently it is all stock chassis with chrispins, MMP, castle 1410 and a soon to have nanotech 6000. I was thinking the TLR chassis and tuning kit. Any other better combinations? Titanium links instead of the tuning kit? Also, what spare's would be suggested? Haven't broken anything yet in a handful of races but I'm sure its only a matter of time.
Thanks

I thank you for trying to help, but those rebuild kits are $40 or more. I just ant to replace a sloppy bearing.

yes, it will stop the diff fluid from seeping out around it and also it will keep that insert from slidding into the diff case like some of us had it do previously.

I pulled the bearings out of my Castle 1410 and they measure 5X14X5mm. Just thought I would share this info in case anyone else needed to replace theirs. You can get them here http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/5mm/605ZZ30-1 .

your welcome

In addition to the glueing I suggest using some thick grease, e.g. LOSA99203 below the o-ring and in the groove on the outdrives.

The tlr chassis is nice but u will have to use the factory plugs and pieces under the diff unless u want holes in the chassis. Bce or bump chassis eliminate them and saves some weight. I would go with the tuning kit and aftermarket chassis.

I used jb weld. I wasn't sure how well ca would hold on the steel. Also make sure the insert is fully bottomed out before the glue sets up. If it's not your gear mesh will be too tight.
