Yeah, I have got to locate a source for used parts in my area, and I'll pick up necessary parts locally and fix it myself, but good idea, that is if the used part is any good, you don't always have the op for a close inspection.

If only it were that easy....I can't even find a used bike around here!

OK, Here is what I think the clarification on the previous subject is;

I just checked out my Huffy Cantilever, this is the bike I have my engine mounted to, . . looking real close, it seems to me there is no dust cover, and that the grease is sitting there on top of the bearings and holding pretty darn firm, . I first took it yesterday as some type of dust cover or washer type shim acting as a dust cover, . . so, in this case,

the below picture seems to be correct, the only thing thats missing is the grease !

The other pic involved, where, "ocscully", commented, there are two different cones, is correct but the one cone, as, "stude13", pointed out, is a racer, but there is only one being shown, it is of both sides, (of the same one, single part), thats what I was afraid of, it was left lying around from another bike, consequently, in my excited state of bouncing BB's, I mistook it for one of the parts, . .

( for that you have my apologies, . . I was a bad boy!! . . and also not to damn smart !!, sorry to have wasted your time like that.)

Ahh, . so onward and upward, . . I guess thats it for this episode, with the exception; I have a deep freeze going with the lock nut and the bearing cone. If I don't want to buy a new one or frisk around for a, "Junkyard Gem", I'm going to have to figure out a way of getting them apart ?

Thanks for Hangin in !

why do you need to get it apart??
can't you just put it all back together & use it the way it is?

I guess you mean stick it on with the cone and nut on the one side, Thats is exactly what I did, . . I was able to replace a couple of lost B.Bearings, and stuck the wheel on, I can pretty much tell, it is gonna need a new set of cones, so I'll probably wind up looking for that Junker Gem, or making a purchase very soon. Thanks !

When you put the axel through the wheel and add bearings to the race, when they almost touch you have enough. Improper bearings in a wheel can get you hurt. If you are not sure take it to a shop. The average trip th the E.R. starts at $100.00

Wheel What size is that front wheel and where are you located, I may be able to hook you up.

BTW I just found 2 20" wheels off a BMX on the side of the road last night....Really strange at 11:00pm just sitting middle of no where.
