Re: 07 Kit Wheel Bearings Dilemma

The bearings are 1/2" ID, not 3/8". So no, they aren't going to fit any rod in the kit. As far as "standard" 1/2" rod.... The rod is almost certainly going to have a +/- .001 tolerance. Maybe a -.005 tolerance. At any rate, the inner race of the bearing is going to also be something like -.0003 tolerance. So, mostly, your shaft is too big and the hole is too small. Ideally, you sand your shaft until the bearing slides on smoothly.
