Hot Rods Yukon Gear Rant

Motive owns Richmond!?! When I worked at Arrow Speed in the 90's Motive was the "bargain" brand and Richmond was top of the line. My how times have changed.

Whenever I hear about honing a taper roller bearing to create a tool for test fitting I think about the tolerance on the bearing "stand" dimension. On some stuff 0.004"/0.008" should not be overlooked.

Then there is the effect of interference fit on the bearing "length" and the "setting" procedure.

 

This is why I measure to see if there is a difference between a tester bearing to the bearing being used and factor that in.

 

I'll commend Yukon's tech guys, there's 2 of them, they know their business and good guys to talk to.

 

Praise as worthy. That puts a twist on this threads title. I take it everything worked out in the end ?

 

They are good guys and I enjoyed talking with them, very professional and sincere. I'll never install another set of their gears, we'll let it go at that.

 

Yup. Every time.
