I know rebuilding it requires setting bearing preloads, etc.


Not sure so I'm just asking so I don't end up having to go to a shop to have it put back together.
It will cost me the same in the end either way if I have to do that.


Its not the easiest way but its the least expensive. When you take out the carrier just make notes of any shim placement.

Another option someone already mentioned is Uship. I have got lucky a few times there. 200.00 to ship a 700 lb slip roll from CA to TX and a very heavy 12 gage sheet metal brake from PA to TX. I think that was $325-350.00 range. The trick is to be patient. Someone putting a load together might just be going the direction you need. Its like a reverse auction. I learned it you put a taget price in your add you cut out a bunch of redicoulous high bids. My first bids for that brake were over $1500.00
