Axles

[superc_1]

Kwik question.
I pulled my axles and repacked bearings and reinstalled axles? I think I put the axles back on the wrong side from where they came out? Do I need to switch them back or will they be okay?

Anybody have an opinon?

What axles are we talking about?

Rear axle

rear axle

What kind - make model - etc. Huge range of possible axles you might be dealing with.

Some are the same left and right - some are different.

76 terra and I think the axles are the same lenght? I'm worried more about the bearing and race having problems? I didn't change the bearings I only repacked the seals.

Ok - standard Scout II Dana 44. Thank you.

You should be fine. They are idential left and right. You should try and keep the bearings and races together as pairs if you are reusing old stuff - but on axle shafts no biggie if you don't. You should be just fine.

Thanks chris! My parking brake came out really nice with no problems and I should finish up the rear brakes tonight besides bleeding the brakes. Thanks again for everybody's help!
