I already have bearings in my micro-t, if I buy cvd axels do I take out the bearings and
put in the cvd ? or do you use the bearings with the cvd's

You still use the bearings.

Mr. Mugen

What cvd's did you get? I bought the set of Integy cvd's and the pins fall out. Make sure to put a piece or tape or thin walled shrink wrap around them to retain the pins.

Also I found that they were too short. I fixed this by adding a small washer between the cvd and bearing to make the shaft go farther into the output.

I've allot of luck with these from [link=http://www.atomicmods.com/Products/Atomic-Micro-T-Universal-Swing-Shafts__14099.aspx]atomic mods[/link]

Mr. Mugen

How are the pins retained in those? Integy uses a small O ring that rots faster than any other rubber I've seen.....which leads to pin falling out.

The best fix for this is too take an extra shock spring , or one from a ball point pen , and cut about a coil and a half off of the spring (enough too go around the CVD where the pins are) and slip it over so it falls into the groove for the o ring , then put just a little bit of c.a. on to hold it in place . Mine havent come out in a very long time .

If you do loose the pin you can cut more from a sewing needle .

i will ONLY use the 3R stainless steel ones since i have already ripped through ~ 4 pairs of the aluminum ones. the integy ones fit like crap, DO NOT buy them.
