DIY Wheel bearing?

Don't know where people are getting this C-clip thing from. Perhaps it's a newer rear thing. I've swapped axles from a '69 to a '64 7-1/4", and neither of them were held in by C-clips. They were like an 8-3/4" after Green Bearings are installed. A sealed bearing with 4 or 5 nuts holding the backing plate and bearing retainer in place. I suggest you do the same. Just swap axles. Find a 7-1/4" differential at a junk yard or Craigslist, and get the axle shaft. Cheaper than getting a new bearing put on. You could probably find someone to pay you to take the whole differential off their hands. If you're by me, you can come and get one.
