Re: This worked well

This is sort of general education, so I thought I would toss it in this old thread.
When I was younger and dumber I would see a flaky portion on the cup of a tapered roller bearing like in the first photo. I'd then look at the rollers on the inner portion and assume that if they looked OK then all I'd need to do is replace the outer cup.
But actually, the nice looking rollers were covering up a perfectly nasty inner cone as shown in the second photo. No wonder this axle was noisy even though the damage to the outer race looked so minor. Lesson, don't be a cheapskate--if one is damaged, replace both inner and outers.
