Rear axle housing repair : my feeback

[FlatheadTed]

Yeah Lawire I thought the same ,the problem is that with the limited space you have any bearing you use that supplies its own inner race restricts roller size , I liked this because the inner race is close to the axle but still need a inner ring ,I did have that feeling that it would not perform like Fords one .I used it because my hub race was pitted ,I have since removed it because I got a near new drum .after it was removed I checked it and found the outer shim sleeve had bunched up so a better idea would need to be found .I think it could work with the right lube ,but a trial run would be needed with regular monitoring Ted
