    Is there a trick to get the bearing spacer off of the link pin axle? I ordered new ones but the old one is really on there. I don't want to damage anything.

    Thanks,
    Garry

    I got it. I figured out what that groove was for!

    Now is the time to dye check the spindles with the spacer removed.
    Just a thought.

    Bonus points to Dietmar! He is correct. At least in my experience, where that sharp edge (on the inside diameter of the collar) mates to the spindle is where spindles will crack, so put a nice large radius on the collar before you install it.
