Has anyone installed wilwood rear disc conversion kit 140-7144? Need some advice as where does the snap ring on the green bearing go? In front of or on the rear side of the wilwood assembly bracket? Thank you

Just give them a call, they will be glad to help out. They were very helpful to me when I had a couple of questions about my front brake conversion.

Thank you RockinRobin I've called them twice and they can't answer me on the question of the snap ring and it's there kit

The Wilwood caliper bracket doubles as a wheel bearing retainer. In other words, the bracket bolts on top of the snap-ring. Unfortunately, if you don't remove the differential thrust block, this will destroy the wheel bearings. Of course, Wilwood does not know this.
