Hey guys,

So i am pretty much done rebuilding my Jrx2...but i have a nice crunchy sound from the bearings on the rear end...I want to grab some avid's but i don't know the complete size...Avid asks for 3 dimensions... I know they are 8mm x 14mm, but what is the third dimension? Are they 8x14x4? Any help would be great.

The dimensions are usually inner diameter x outer diameter x height.

Not necessarily in that order. Height would be if u layed the bearing flat. top to bottom.

sorry I dont know the sizes off memory. Try boca bearings they even have a kit for the jrx2....they usually pickup the phone first ring too. Not sure of holidays right now though.

You are correct depending on the bearing you are trying to replace.
The A6902 is for the outdrive gears on the transmission. You need 4 total.
I prefer getting 2 of the rubber seals on one side kind for the two outer most bearings. They get lots of dirt in them if you use metal only bearings. Something like these- http://sabulatech.com/storefront/product.php?id_product=2029
But you should be able to get them from Avid or any other good bearing seller. Any of the 8x14 should work as long as not flanged. Yes the thickness is 4mm.
