Need help with 9" Ford... Pics anyone?
Alright, bought this 9", ordered a center section, as far as I know, I have to install the center section, the seals, bearings and axles and c clips and bolt it in. I have all the parts needed (I think), I have a general idea how most of it goes intogether. Here are pics of what I have. I think I install the seal into the housing ends, press it in there all the way, then i believe there is a ball bearing that gets pressed into the housing end but not sure exactly where this other bearing goes, looks like just a solid bearing. Also do the bearings get pressed onto the axles? Bearing doesnt go all the way down the axle freely.

should the axles be this close?
the wheel bearing, some kind of solid bearing and the seal

see how my bearing doesnt go all the way down, does it need to be pressed?

its 3" shorter on each end, doesnt need to be mini tubbed but needs a deeper dish wheel, thats why I did it to get that offset. i know how the bearings go on now, they need to be pressed on.
