Stock_as_a_rock Member 2 Member For: 11y 5m 15d Posted 04/01/13 12:02 PM Share Posted 04/01/13 12:02 PM So I've had a tailshaft centre bearing failure. I'm wondering if any of the sponsors or other companies have found a solution other than the Hardy spicer tailshafts that I've read about. I live in WA so a perth local workshop would be a preference and if anyone has a rough cost that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the shaft has to be modified. But once done if it fails again its an easier fix. Had my tailshaft upgraded not long ago, but he left mine factory stock as he hadnt seen many failures..well atleast in FG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a call to find out a price for your model etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good service and cheapest by $650 compared to hardy spicer. Oh and he used chromoly where as Hardys only offered steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
