Factory Scrap Repair Job?

Post by Coyote »

You are looking inside the brake drum. It appears as though Suzuki (or whoever made the hubs) scrapped this one by getting the bearing bore oversize. As a repair, they installed 6 pins and re-bored the installed pins to fit the bearing. Anyway, that's how it looks to me. How about you?

Hi Coyote,

it seems to me, that these are no bolts, but ejector marks from manufacturing. When you press the bearing out of the bore, you will not find any bolts.

Those marks are made by staking the bearing in place.
