I am trying to finish assembly of my axle shafts in a '89 MJ Dana 44 housing, it had the metric tonne package.
I used Timken Set10 bearings, and Timken 2689S seals. when i slide the axles into the housings, the seals stick out of the housing about a quarter inch. this combined with the thickness of the backing plate nets just about a half inch gap. the thickness of the disk brake brackets and parking brake plates is somewhere around .38 inches. this leaves quite a bit of space and the brake plates move all over when the backing plates are tightened down, and i am certain this is not right.
when i took the axle apart, it had cone/race bearings on it, and i thought that the set10 bearing set was just a new design. do i need to find the older race/cone style for this to work right? anyone know what the part number would be for those?
i mic'd the bearing surface in the housing, and the depth of the bearing/seal and the bearing is fully seated in the bore.
both sides are like this, I didn't put the long shaft in the short side of the carrier.
any ideas would be appreciated.:repair:
