Default Re: Tech: Rear axle bearing sleeve replacement. My efforts.

The one item you may have missed is checking to make sure you're concentric with the brake shoes. I have heard that in Model As the center hole in the housing is not necessarily centered with the ring where the backing plate mounts. Sometimes the axles needs to be shimmed on the center to get the bearing correctly oriented with that.
