Going to bed but last comment. I had the sure grip (I think that is what it is called) posi put in. I'm not a differential guy but I assume if I go back to the tapered bearings some sort of (insert?) will need to be put in between the axle ends???

The snap ring is there. When I tightened the 5 hole retainer plate it snugged things up, but I just don't like the set-up. I'm committed now. Everything is put together. If it fails I'll deal with it then.

I'm talking about the green bearing of course!!

What prevents the outer race of the green bearing from spinning inside the axle tube. When I placed my axle in the tube and slid it in there was very little resistance. Seems to me that outer race has the potential to spin and possibly ruin my axle tubes.

Man that assembly looks clean!!!

If only the worst problems currently plaguing this country were which bearing to use on our Mopars!! I hate to beat a dead horse but now I'm concerned about another aspect of the green bearing. This occurred to me before the bearing was pressed on. I have included a picture for reference. The...

Last question if anyone is looking. On my 489 case I had the sure grip installed. Does anyone know of an additive that is supposed to be added because of the sure grip or just put in the standard gear oil??? Hope I don't start something here.

Yeah, I make no argument as to which is better. I simply wanted to know some specifics of green bearing installation. In the back of my mind the tapered roller bearing is better. The green bearing is simply the bearing the the man (that died) rebuilding my rear had purchased and he recommended...

My fault. I started this. Good night!!

A Sure grip posi unit has been installed. I've got the unit sitting on a bucket having just been painted. I believe its completely open. Other words nothing in the center.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!

Last post for the evening. Everyone agree with the picture. Obviously nothing is pressed on. Only thing missing in the picture is the gasket between the axle tube and the brake plate. Originally it was a beaded metal (I'm sure it was metal, I think?) gasket of the same shape as the heavy gasket...

I guess it's all in the handling. I've made some errors. Was cutting off some plastic I had used to cover it when cleaning out any possible media residue. I barely hit the surface with a razor and marked the piss out of it.

That's powder coat. The guys that did the sand blasting also powder coated. I thought what the heck let's try it. Ill never do that again. Should have used Epoxy primer and 2K paint. It looks pretty for a day. Not as durable as I thought it would be.

Long story. Took my rear to a guy with a strong reputation of building rear ends, for race cars, etc. He was well into his 60's. When I took it to him I had a moment of hesitation of "Maybe this guy is too old (His health looked less than ideal). I left it anyway. He got the 3rd member...

It also appears when that (snap?) ring bottoms out against the brake plate a portion of the bearing race will be protruding beyond the axle body. That also bothered me but I guess the area protruding out has no load on it. The bearings are set more inside the axle tube. Just thinking out loud.

Right, I was just holding everything up there for sequence visual. I was trying to visualize the setup before having the bearing and the collar pressed on. It just didn't seem right to pinch that snap ring on the bearing between the brake back plate and the 5 hole retaining plate. I have since...

So in the picture, the retainer ring on the the green bearing (opposite side if O ring of course) will sit against the brake back plate, correct?? Plate goes on axle housing first, then the axle with plate, green bearing, retainer ring will slide in. In this scenario the retainer/snap ring will...
