Title: KX Wheel Bearings
Post by: MXonaKawi on September 24, 2014, 10:54:53 AM

Is there any reason the balls on the wheel bearings appear to be facing outward in this schematic? Every video installation of bearings I've seen on youtube has bad the balls facing inward towards the spacer.

Probably just the illustrators way of making sure you know that it is representing a bearing.

So all the bearings should be facing inward, correct?

They usually come sealed on both sides.  Does not matter which direction they face.
