Hello. Don't forget to check the half-shaft endfloat when you reassemble. Too much endfloat and the bearings will grind on the axle. If you reassemble using the same parts the endfloat shouldn't change, but if it does you'll need some shims. Mick Dolphin had the bits I needed.

Hi

Got back my axel from the powder coaters and awaiting my seals and bearing from Rimmers. I also got the drums powder coated (outside only) and maybe should have measured them for ware. Can any off you guys advise what dimensions I should be looking for to check ware?

I wont be using them anyway so if someone wants them there are welcome to them for much cheapness (if there not fupped).
