Not really. Now that you mention it, the bearings are held in place by a delrin washer that contacts the hub and is backed by a regular SS washer. These are then backed by a cotter pin. This "stack" goes on both sides of the wheels.

The nice part aboutthe Delrin, is it can take a beating from the dirt and still work well.
