Hi guys, well I got the brakes all done except hooking up the vacuum and fresh air lines to the HV. I have the clutch installed and getting the driveline in. It seems I am missing the metal clamp that holds the carrier bearing to the chassis. Maybe I misplaced it?? Is there a place that sells just the clamp or do I need to get a whole new bearing? Anyone know a part number for either or both? And I am assuming the bearing is pressed on to the driveline?? Anyway, just getting those 2 things done should allow me to drive the bus, FINALLY.

Hy fclaridge, click on the link and identify which part you are missing, then I'll try and find you a part number.

I looked at that picture and it would be the 5.432, but I don't have that kind of support. Mine has a D shape rubber cushion surrounding the bearing.

Here is a possibility of what a new one looks like??

Looks like a replacement carrier bearing, I haven't seen the strap sold separately but you can get the whole thing new easy enough.

Yes the whole assembly isn't real expensive, just a matter of getting the right part number. Suggestions on where I could find that?

I stopped in there today and there are 4 different options for my bus. So I need to get the bearing off the shaft and just get it in there as Grigg suggests. Thanks again all.

A better fix was to go to Drivelines NW and he looked at the bearing and said it was fine. Went to the back and brought out the right support bracket for me and said have a nice evening. So looks like I'm getting to installe the driveline tomorrow. Yay!!
