Switched to the spool because when swapping gears I noticed my cone style suregrip was worn out and a buddy had a spool laying around so we put that in. But since I am running the tapered bearings it leaked because the adjuster can only tighten the one side. I am going to switch to the green bearings on Dr diff.
That's not right. After you reinstall the center spacer, the one adjuster pushes the RH axle up against the spacer and then the squeeze continues out to the LH axle, which then stops when it reaches the LH retainer. Badaboom!
Most cone-types can be made to work again,so long as the crosspin saddle is not wallered out. It's also a good opportunity to set the preload and make it streetable again. I've only done a half dozen or so, but they are all still out there many years later.I even fixed one with the wallered out saddles.
