jim fl4 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi, The ferret I am restoring has had both rear sun gears removed in the past. I am needing a pair and preferably one of the 'starfish' shaped bearing carriers. Any help much appreciated. Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, Not sure, but might have one sun gear and the bearing carrier, but will not be able to check until Monday or Tuesday. cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rush, I hope the sun gear and its planet gears do not need to be matched? I think because the gear has been removed for many years their has been no oil being thrown around and concequently the bearing carrier and its bearing have rusted. Thanks again, Jim.

Hi Jim, It is on my list of things to do when I get to my workshop. No worries about matching the gears, not necessary on these gears. About 40 years ago I was rebuilding Ferret hub assemblies for overhauled vehicles, so am pretty conversant with them. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, Sincere apologies, but on looking for the Ferret parts, I then remembered that I had sold the parts last year, only tracta joints left. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
