rebuilding original idler wheels for you!

Post by heiner921 »

i am rebuilding original idler wheels or those who want it done $25 per wheel. covers cost of new bearing, polishing wheels, new solid rivets, and shipping it back. You do have to reuse the steel bushing reducer inside the bearing. I also have 3 ready to go for sale as well. Let's not let the originals be thrown away and replaces buy the aftermarket ones.

thanks guys! i also do have 3 ready to go to who ever needs them done, so turn around time is less than a day. when i receive the ones you want rebuilt i can just put these 3 in the box and send them back. nothing like a quick turn around time!

I am interested too! I will be sorting through my idler wheels and see which ones are rebuildable. I am putting together a Liquifire suspension and want to completely go through it before it goes in the Trailfire.

Since I put up that FAQ a few years back, I have had a number of inquiries about rebuilding wheels, but I just do not have the time.

So, I know there is some demand. Glad to see someone wants to take this on!
