This should be an easy problem but I can't figure it out, I'm missing something.
I need to replace the inner idler wheels on my 2003 RX-1. Not the ones on the rear axle, but the ones forward of that axle, that sit on another axle or shaft, part number 8FA-47486-00-00.
Based on the parts diagram, it appears that the wheels that go on this shaft are part number 8CR-4731A-00-00. So that's what I ordered and when they arrived they definitely aren't the correct wheels, they won't come even close to fitting on the shaft.
So I don't know if I'm reading the parts diagram wrong or what. It shows the same part number for the four outer wheels further forward. Those bolt to the rail, and don't have a shaft going through them. I can't find any other wheels on the diagram that look like they're the right ones. I just can't figure out, but someone here must know the correct part number.
Thanks.

They are the same wheels but the plastic inserts need to be tapped out of the bearing for them to slide onto the shaft.This should be an easy problem but I can't figure it out, I'm missing something.

Ohhhh, ok. So its just a bushing that will come out. Well that explains it then, thank you very much.They are the same wheels but the plastic inserts need to be tapped out of the bearing for them to slide onto the shaft.

Yes, similar to this:
Oh, and the bearings are even replaceable. Excellent, thanks for the pics.

Although those were aftermarket larger idler wheels (135mm vs stock 130mm) to aid in slider wear, I do believe the Yamaha replacement idler wheels have replaceable bearings too.
