Am going to need to replace this I think after breaking some of adjuster ears off and exposing edge of seal. Recomendations good or bad? ebay has some aftermarket ones around $100-120 various brands?? thanks

Get an aftermarket one, that has the grease zirk on the outer edge. Being able to grease those bearing while assembled is really nice. A new stocker will cost over 200 bucks and it will break.

Glad I was wrong about the dealer only part. I like the grease zerk idea. Grease is ALWAYS better than no grease.

I bought one of the lonestar carriers with the double row berrings works great.....
.
.(note: inorder for the grease fitting to do any good ther caint be a inner berring seal.......check this before installing the carrier if the berrings are sealed on both sides juist pop out the inner seal ....then when you pak it full of greese the grease will actualy lube the berrings)
.
I learned this trick reparing lawn mowers ...the spindles that the blades ride on have sealed berrings so the greese fittings are useless unless you do the same trick..
.
juist another way for the companys to suck our wallets dry
