Blew out one of the 2 wheels that roll on the upper inside of the track and are mounted on a cross shaft in the tunnel. The wheel is ok but the bearing musta failed!
Are these wheels available somewhere???

Re: 80 trailfire suspension upper idler wheels
it is also possible to seperate the wheel halves and replece the bearing. then rivet the halves back together.

If you use the search tool in the forum, most of the info is in here somewhere.
I just posted all the info about these idler wheels last week.

There was only one idler left at Oak Bluff Enns Brothers, after I bought two of them. All other shops I called had no stock, including Sun and Snow.

Re: 80 trailfire suspension upper idler wheels
thanx so much for all the replies gentlemen!! 
))))))))
However, it looks like i'll need more than just the wheels...my wheel failure caused major damage to one end of the steel shaft (almost worn clear thru)!! So, i'm in need of the shaft these wheels mount to.
Anyone have or know of one of these somewhere?
thx again!
