Newbie!

Hi guys and thanks for having me! I was recently given a Murray explorer gokart cause the guy was gonna throw it out. I am now working on rebuilding it for my son. I am looking forward to connecting and chatting up some of you guys to get some good info! Actually, I took apart the jackshaft cause the bearings were shot and was wondering if someone knows how to get the bearings out? And where I could grab some replacements?

welcome,

wondering if someone knows how to get the bearings out?

do you have an arbor press, or you could pound it out.

I don’t have a press, so pounding out is the way to go? I wasn’t sure and didn’t want to break something. Can someone recommend a site to find a replacement?

do you have a brass rod long enough to reach from one side to the other? and you can probably find berings on go power sports

Thanks I was able to pound them out! So bearing seems to be 1 5/8 OD x 3/4 ID with a snapring. I have found that size bearing but not one with the snap ring. How much does that matter?
