I'm not saying it is counterfeit, just looking for a possible explanation. NSK is one of the top bearing manufacturers in the world -- they can spec their products to tenths of tenths for crissakes. I wouldn't hesitate to trust an NSK bearing and Koyo is no slouch either. I'm sure either...

I think you are overestimating the thickness of a SSQA system. There's not much difference unless you are putting an adapter on a pin-on attachment. Here's my B7100 with full size SSQA bucket: and forks:

That is, ummm, unexpected ! I wonder if you ended up with a counterfeit NSK. Apparently counterfeit bearings are a thing and infiltrating supply chains. Where did you get it?

If your loader has a PB port then that should be the one that goes back to the 3ph (and other functions). There should be a separate return line from the loader valve "Tank" port to the reservoir. If that is the way it is piped, then an actuated relief valve in the FEL controls or actuation of...

No question: one cannot tell how heavy something is from a photo. Hopefully the reduction in weight is sufficient to offset the increased leverage.

Really? Wow. The B7100 exhaust could be mounted horizontal or vertical, but it has an extra support for horizontal mounting. Vertically, compared to Paul's fabrication, the B7100 muffler itself is considerably shorter with a much lower center of gravity. I thought the OEM B7200 design was very...

Also: when you are inspecting the suspect shaft, make sure it's not bent. Roll it on the flattest surface you can find -- a surface plate if possible -- or chuck it up on a lathe between centres, or set it on a pair of V-blocks, etc.

As Dan points out, the difference may be little more than one or two thou. A bit of trapped debris from hardened bearing components can easily raise a divot or ridge that high, making a slip fit feel like a press fit. Since it appears you have already disassembled both sides, you have a go-no...

Or you can get rid of the water: https://h2ocontrol.com/water-worm/ Contains a desiccant that absorbs water but not diesel. When it's full, remove and hang to dry before reuse. I have a second that I swap in. They also make a mini version that I use in the tractor fuel tank. Same deal: swap...

Boy that tall exhaust looks like a lot of leverage on that small cast flange.

I have a 95 Buick Roadmaster. The standard cooling had an electric fans. The performance package had a bigger electric fans. But the HD cooling included in the towing package has a mechanical fan. It would seem GMs engineers agree with you. ;-)

And to answer the second part of your question (in case it's not obvious) the seal was pushed out by pieces of failed bearing.

YES! So simple, so easy, so common to all. No need to try and figure out if you push the lever or pull the lever or whatever when you switch vehicles. Although it was possible to mix up the siren and brights on fire trucks of the day. There were two peddles side by side. Oh geez, now I'm...

I'm offering to whichever of your personalities is trying to open the hood by tugging on the parking brake release. :D
