I’m in the process of doing new rear axle bearings on my ‘51. I cut the old ones off and got everything cleaned up and I painted the bearing retainers....”Take a piece of wire and tie the bearing retainer to the axle first. If it falls off or gets put on backwards you'll be buying a new bearing.” I have woken up in the middle of the night, dreaming that I forgot to put the retainer on before pressing the bearing on......crazy huh?!?!....
