Default Re: Front wheel bearing question

I can not find a good photo or drawing of the bearings on a ford spindle, but the attached drawing of a totally different spindle should give you the idea. A lot of times the outer bearing will fall out with very little effort with the axle nut is removed. The second photo is of a 35 spindle, you can see the flat areas the bearings run on. The bearing should not be touching the tapered part of the spindle.
