Anyone a Motortrike Dealer on here? I have a couple of questions

I have a few questions if someone on here is a authorized Motortrike dealer. This pertains to the Trog kit rear end

1) The sealed bearing that is in the first picture below. When I removed the left axle assembly the bearing was still on the hub adapter for the rear pulley. Should this bearing be pressed into the left side section of the axle

2) Or pressed onto the hub adapter that is pressed into the rear pulley?

I removed the bearing from the hub adapter but need to know which way to install the new bearing. Im thinking the bearing should be in the left axle housing assembly before re assembling the setup.

In case anyone is wondering why I took it apart. I wanted to install a larger rear pulley and longer new belt. I needed to replace the heim joints Motortrike uses to attach the rear end to the swing arm assembly so I am doing all of it at once. The larger heim joints were shot after 60k miles

I see your near M.B. I am as well I bought my RK/MT from Easy Eddy in Moorseville N.C Great people very helpful. Give them a call. I'm in SSB my trike is pearl white. Now that I know what yours looks like I'll keep a eye out. Good Luck

Got an answer from Motor Trike today. I have to install the new bearing on the rear sprocket adapter first. (Same as pictured in my first posting)
