Probs w/ bearing carrier?

[muff]

Well I took my axle out of my 440ex and I left the bearing carrier and the caliper mounting plate on because i couldnt take the snap ring off the plate, after I got the axle out I noticed a small ring on the floor, apartently this has broken off of the bearing carrier because I can see the bearings inside, it was part of that small collar inside the bearing carrier, can I just buy this part or do I need to buy a whole new carrier?

also when I loosen the swingarm bolts to loosen/tighten the chain a little bit of water always comes out, I have a lonestar antifade hub, is this ok or do I need to buy a new carrier? I dont want to be running into problems half way thru the season

I will try to take a picture of it later so you can see what i'm saying

That new sleave is less than $50. I would just buy that and new bearings and seals. With water running out, you need new bearings and seals for sure! I would say a rebuild would be cheaper than a new carrier, but not nesecarily easier.

also your sure that isnt the snap ring that goes on the axle that the nut presses against to tighten the bearings, it is under the locknuts when its fully tightened. you know what i mean

[muff]

no its not that, its a solid ring, i'll take pics later when I get home from school
