First and foremost, we have been dedicating countless hours and resources toward our cleaning, polishing, and storage processes since the day we opened the doors. Having been in many shops as well as “parts businesses” over the years, I knew from day one that I wouldn’t be willing to settle for the way things have always been done. So, while most parts businesses list it dirty and throw it on a shelf to rust, we spend hours every day preparing each and every part , then carefully oiling and often wrapping the parts one at a time so you can be sure that what you see in the picture is what you receive.
Bearing carriers go through a 3 part process. First, we remove and assess the bearings. While I’d prefer to see bearings changed either way, we’ll include them if they’re good. The second part of the process is to run each one through our centrifugal polisher in a sand slurry mixture. This cleans all of the grease and carbon off of the part. The last step is to run the carrier back through the polisher is porcelain media, which leaves it looking pretty close to new. It allows us a complete inspection. You can't truly inspect the condition of these parts when they’re covered in muck, so we don’t sell them that way.
