U don’t need to remove the thrust block if the bearings have the snap ring. There is so much wrong info out there a d it gets repeated all the time. And from ppl that have never even used them. That’s with the real old green bearings. Kim
With the thrust block in, once the axles were tightened against the backing plates, you could not turn the wheels. While driving the rear end would whine horribly.
lived with it for as long as I could and decided to have the block removed.
