I bought a quick performance rear and all the goodies. My question is the axle bearings are already pressed on and the seals are in the box. Dont the seals have to go on first? are there any good write ups I've searched and couldnt find a whole lot. thanks

Yea I think the backing plates need to go on first then the seals and bearings

maromatt

Thought so...why would they waste there time pressing on the bearing?

FormulaTA327

Who knows, I don't think bearings cost that much just take them off and get new ones pressed on

FormulaTA327

I got my rear thru brute speed and all the bearings came in a bag with naked axles

maromatt

and the backing plates are reused from the 10 bolt right?

Yes.

That's weird they pressed them on like that. When I got mine they where in a bag as well. I've herd you can cut the bracket to allow the axle to slide through but not sure I'd try it..

The installation instructions that I have here should help you out. Bob

My QP 9" setup is the same. The seals go up inside the axle tubes, the bearings do not get lubed (they are sealed).

maromatt

so there is no seal on the outside? I still have to get the bearings off to get the backing plates off

FormulaTA327

Yea gotta take the bearings off to get the backing plate on and only seal goes into axle tube

Hmmm, I pulled the 9" out of my Maverick to change the rear springs (among other things) and didn't have to remove bearings to get the backing plates off...

maromatt

How did you manage that? I'll have to take a look tomorrow

maromatt

talked to quick performance and they said the bearings are sealed and alot of guys cut there plates into a C. Anybody done this? 10 bolt in coming out this week.

I got mine from them and it came with sealed bearings with the o ring on the outside. Mine were loose in a bag, I had to have them pressed on with my caliper bracket.(drag brakes)

Seems like somebody messed up. Hope it works out for you.

maromatt

Thanks man, just my luck thats all. There prices are good but the customer service is lacking alittle.

Yeah when i got my 9" from qp the housing and torque arm mount came from qp and the axles and bearings came directly from moser, mine werent put together either because the backing plates have to go on first then bearing then retainer ring

Mine axles came from QP fully assembled with the "C" style retainers...
