Damaged Spacer Bolt. What to do?

[Longstone]

Looks like when my bearings went out it put some fairly significant grooves in what my manual refers to as the "spacer nut" on the left front fork.

Noticed it just as I was about to put the wheel back on. Is it required this be replaced before proceeding?

It will tear up you seal!

Figured it would. Thanks! Now who sell's them that's a board sponsor? Can I buy just that or do I have to get axle too?

order it from your local dealer..takes about 4-5 days and you can pick it up when it comes in.

looks like part # 54731-33E10

Thanks. I ordered it from BikeBandit.com

Local dealer wanted to charge me $55 for a used one. Didn't bother asking about a new one.

Good idea.
Best to replce it for sure.
Bike Bandit is fast shipping and cheap prices.
I have used them in the past.

Thanks for all the help with this project. Even though it ended up being more than just a simple bearing replacement, with the help of the folks here it's been pretty easy.

You should have told them to just order you a new one for $26 and they can keep the $55 used one.
