For Mosers they use a different sealed bearing than stock and a locking collar. IIRC outer seal, backing plate, bearing & collar. Side the assy. in the housing and you are done.
With after market, Mosers anyway, there is no end play to set up like stock.
I run Mosers in my drag car with slicks & Detroit locker.

Thanks, I'm not sure what brand the spares are, I bought them second hand cheap and the prev owner didn't remember the brand. I guess if I measure the diameter I can probably get a kit for them. I was also told no matter what seal/bearing kit you use they always leak a little.

When re-installing the cup (or race) on both sides of the axle, doesn't this, by default, set the endplay? The caps go in pretty tight.
Is the process to first install the right (passenger) side flush, and then slowly tap in the left side till the endplay is correct then add the shims? (I put up another post on this from Billd's tutorial, but it didn't show up...?) |

If I remember correctly the race gets tapped in till flush with the housing. The end play is determined by the shims between the backing plate and the housing.

The right side axle bearing will install flush. The left sidebearing cup will stick out from the housing slightly if the axles are correct for the housing. The shims fit around the bearing to set end play.

So when tapping the left side cup in, this is when the endplay is adjusted? How have you pulled out the cap slightly if the end play was too little?
In my housing, that cap goes in pretty tight... |

If you hit the right side axle with a rubber mallet it will move the left axle out. I usually put to thick of a shim pack in and hit both axles to seat the bearings out and check end play then pull apart and reduce shims to set end play correctly.

OK, my first issue was that I had the wrong right side axle. That was corrected yesterday with the UPS guy dropping one off.
Pressing in the axle on one side pushes out the other side exactly as you stated. I had to replace the right inner axle seal (don't ask). I set it to approximately the same depth as the original (and the left side.) When I push the right side in, it presses against the inner seal as I'd assume it is supposed to. Question is: should the inner seal ride up on the tapered side of the axle? To get the right cup flush with the flange, I estimate that there will be pressure on the inner seal against the tapered side of the axle. Is this correct? Or does the seal ride on the "flat" section of the axle? (ie I didn't drive the inner seal in enough?) Once this is answered, I hope to have the rear done in a few hours (I hope!) Thanks for the help on this.
