rearend ? again

On the 8 1/4 the bearing fits in the housing snug and the axle rides on the bearing. The main problem with this design is the axle usually goes away before the bearing does. The bearing number for this app. is 6408. they do make a repair bearing RP 6408 that looks different than the original because it locates the bearing load further out than the original, this is a quik fix deal but I'd rather replace the axle.
