We’re they much of a problem to do, and did you have to replace bearings too, tapered shafts? Correct?, Thanks

Not that big a problem as I have a seal setting tool.  I replaced the bearings (two on each axle with a ridge between them).  You have the inner seal, spacers, the inner bearing race, the bearings, the outer bearing race and the outer seal.

The inner seals went well, both sides were leaking, bearings and race are in good shape, the only problem is there were 2 shims behind the race’s, does anyone know where I can find these? Thanks,

Any reason you can’t reuse the old ones?

 

For what it is worth, the shims are to compensate for manufacturing/machining tolerances on the axle housing so shouldn’t change for that housing after it left the factory.

Slightly deformed but may be possible, just thought a new set would seat better,,both shims are about 1/2 the thickness of a dime, can’t that do much to limiting tolerance, if they are not used,
