How do you know if you need to take out the little disc in the middle that the axles butt up to?.
It's the use of "Green" bearings that requires it because the thrust block (cone type sure grip) or thrust pins (clutch type sure grip) in the middle is for the stock axles to butt up to for adjustment of the stock tapered bearings. Most (if not all) of the aftermarket axles can only accept Green bearings.
Thanks moper, I was just getting that sentence of fishy's all twisted around.
its cone. and from what i can find online i believe its gotta come apart. tempted to knock an 1/8th of each axle with a belt sander. my axles are moser so i bet they would put preload on the green bearings if i dont remove it or take a tad off the axles. is there anything wrong with shortening if you dont get them hot.
I have another carrier with a 4.57 gear and a clutch type s/g.I may as well trade s/g,s and use the clutch type in my 4.10 carrier. Since i,m in this deep I am gonna do it right. How hard is disassembling the clutch type to inspect for wear and is there anything i should look for to jump out at me?
