Hello everyone,
I'm trying to do wheel bearings on my early 8.75 rear end and there's not a lot of info on these as compared to the later 8.75s. Couple of questions:
Are there green bearings available for the early 8.75s? Doctordiff.com doesn't let me select '64 on their green kit for the 8.75.
I understand the wheel bearing preload/endplay is set with shims. Do I need to reshim it if I do new bearings?
Do the drum brake backing plates go inside or outside of the axle retention plates? On the car currently the drum brake backing plates are further outside. But some pictures I've seen online make me think that's not correct and this would effect the axle end play.
