wait, did you just snape one of the bolts that are on the swingarm that clamps the carrier in? if so, then you can just take the broke one out and put a new bolt in. If you cracked your carrier.. which happens, then you can either buy a stock carrier, or you can buy an aftermarket one. I have an aftermarket one (lonestar). They run roughly 150 bucks, and are dual row bearings, meaning they will last longer than stock. Well sorry that i got confused by what you said, i think i am tired, but i hope this helps you.

Yep the stock ones suck. The same thing happened to me, I was ticked off real bad . I went with one off ebay that has a zirk fitting on the side of it for easy greasing . Rad design offers one like this for alot of money, but this ones nice and I got it $115.
