9" Assembly
9" Assembly Just got my new 9", quick question...
Do the bearings go in o-ring to the front of the housing or to the inside?
How far do the bearing spacers get pressed on behind the bearings?
Are the Bearings Spacers required for the 40 spline axles?

From left to right in the above image:
Press ring
Axle bearing (notice the o-ring facing towards the outside)
Spacer (very thin metal ring, not pressed on, just smushed in place by bearing
Brake backing plate
ABS reluctor gear (3-channel cars will not have this gear)
Well, remember that the o-ring isn't the only thing holding the fluid in the rearend... there's also the axle seal. Moser's instructions say that the o-ring should face the outside. At least from looking at them, I would *guess* that it would be OK to have it flipped. But I'd ask somebody who's built a few to be sure.
