Rear Gasket Order?

[mopowers]

Can anyone tell me the order of the gaskets for an 8 3/4 rearend? Does the foam one go behind the backing plate, then the metal one goes between the bearing retainer and the backing plate? Do you guys smear and RTV or anything on any of them? I'm running green bearings and inner seals if that matters.

Thanks guys!

Reverse your order.Tin between axle tube and backing plate, foam at bearing retainer.
You can rtv the tin for a little extra seal help.
Ive run green bearings with and without inner seals.When without I clean the housing and check for burs and sand paper it.Apply a small amount of rtv to the housing and slide the axle in.the rtv helps seal and lube the "O" ring on the bearing.Will make it tough to remove the axle later but a slide hammer pops it loose.
