Wanting to buy a used strange 12 bolt, which previously had strange rear brakes on it. How do I go about getting my stock backing plates on? Cut the bearings off and contact strange for new ones? Sorry if the question sounds silly and simple. Just not sure how many different bearing styles there are etc.. Do I just contact strange and tell them what I need? Thanks a bunch for any replies

The bearings will have to be removed so the stock backing plates can be on then the new bearings pressed on. Is this with street/strip axles or the race axles?

They're just the street/ strip axles. I'll have to make sure I contact strange before I make the 22 hour one way drive for this thing.

Yes youll need to cut the bearing and wedding rings off. Youll need an adapter if your car has traction control and youd like to keep it and abs. The reluctor ring goes on an aluminum adapter so it fits the strange axle. I just pulled my stock brakes in favor of strange brakes so I got to go through my first time of cutting almost brand new bearings. If you are comfortable and confident with a air cut off wheel it is not difficult at all to do and doesnt take long. When you get 4/5ths through the ring or inner bearing race they have so much tension on them they just about crack apart on their own. Here is some reference pictures:

An exploded view of the axle components is also here, and you get a better look at the reluctors and the aluminum adapters they are on:

Thanks a lot for this thread . It will be helpful for me and my swap and build if need be.

Question, whats the major difference between the Strange 12 bolt and the Moser? Noticeable differences?

Only difference I know off hand is the centers are cast a little different and the torque arm bolts thread into the moser where they go through the strange just like stock. Also I dont know if moser has the grease fittings on the wheel bearings.
