You are correct. The right. inner bearing race is non servicable. You just replace the outer part of the bearing and leave the inner alone. No one makes them or has them. Everyone in the industry just changes the roller part. Stupid. In fact they were shocked I got it off. So now I basicly have a boat ancor. The left one is serviceable though. Makes no sense from a mechanics stand point.

Unless the race is actually a part of the surface of the crank itself.....which it is not, since you removed the old one.

The "company" probably saved .02 a piece on the manufacture of the cranks doing that way.

So I guess if the bearing surface starts to flake or pit, you just buy a new crank!!!!!......That's bullshit!!!

It was retained by a snap ring and I used a T bar puller to remove it. Im sorry but its part of the bearing and should be replaced when you change bearings.
