Re: WCP SS WCD Loose Bearings
I'm on mobile atm

But the gearbox plates were designed for a press fit and a few customers over the year have emailed us about this issue.

The three easy fixes are:

1. Loctite the bearing in

2. Flip the bearing around and it'll solve your issue. Once your wheel is on the shaft it will not be able to go in either direction.

3. If you can't or don't want to flip the bearing. Take a washer and bolt and thread it through one of the holes next to the bearing.

This is only an issue with the wcd version and after this season we will most likely modify the plate to have holes to bolt retain the bearing.

Please email me directly or support at wcproducts.net if you need anything else.
