Changing 8.75 axle HELP

Uh Oh, those axles have Green bearings already installed. This means a couple things for you.....you need to change the axle tube ends to use the green bearings, they are a sealed bearing, not tapered, and need the Green bearing style races (non-tapered) in the ends on the tube.

Another thing, and you need to call Dr. Diff to clarify, I believe you need to remove the thrust button in the center of the PIG to use these axles, as the thrust button is used to set the endplay, a procedure not used for Green bearings, and I believe the thrust button will not allow these axles to fully seat in the housing. Maybe someone running Green bearings can chime in and confirm this, but I believe that this information is accurate!! Geof

Uh... where did you get that information Geof? I haven't actually installed a set of "green" bearings but since they are a sealed bearing why do they need races? A lot of Ford 9" rears use the same type of sealed bearing and they do not have any type of race. And "change the axle tube ends"? It's always been my understanding that "green" bearings slide right in where tapered bearings come out.
