axle bearings, need help

[Ksipes1]

Dr. Diff: I just bought a set of green bearings from you delivering next week. I have a 1966 Barracuda with a stock 8.75 with drum brakes and sure grip. Do I need to shorten the axles or remove the thrust blocks?

If you are running stock brakes, a stock housing and stock axles with (MO-400/ST-400) SNAP-RING style Green bearings, you do NOT need to remove the thrust block.

If you are using first generation (RP-400/Mopar Performance) Green bearings with the crimped-on retainer, you must remove the thrust block.

In addition, poorly designed rear disc brake kits such as Wilwood require thrust block removal.

I only sell second generation snap-ring style Green bearings, so you do not need to remove the thrust block.
