    Default WRD Differential installation.

    I would like to know what bearing bore diameter is recommended for mounting the bearings of a WRD chain drive differential into aluminum mounts.
    If anyone can make a recommendation from their experience with this it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    I've had plenty of experience with this, I'll PM you the correct bore diameter and tolerance. I'll also give you some tips on making your WRD diff. less problematic.

    Gary -

    Ditto that.

    The only "s'posed ta" that I know is to religiously check the large nut on the sprocket side, to make sure it's not backing out.

    I put a wallop of red loctite on it, torqued it to whatever Lee told me, and now have a mark etched on it and the housing so I can tell if the nut is loosening.

    $0.02. Are there others?
