Hi there pengs5, I looked up the parts manual, and I am guessing you mean the pressed steel bearing retainers ( one each side of bearing ) with three bolt holes and shaped a bit like a triangle. I'm pretty sure these flanges are supposed to provide a bit of self alignment for the shaft. So, perhaps they are done up too tight ( do not know how this could be possible ) or the wrong bearing has been installed and the flanges have too much purchase on the bearing or the shaft is really out of alignment and exceeding the ability of the flanges to absorb that misalignment. The shaft may be bent etc. The bearing part number is 1309128-5 Hope this helps.
