Henry;
Before you tear your axles out, check to make sure that the bearing housing=
 has been bored too deep. =C2=A0Mine were. =C2=A0Some guys have reported th=
at their axle housing bores are the proper depth and that the bearing sits =
flush with the brake-side surface of the backing plate, yielding no end flo=
at.
Also,=C2=A0I found out that the =E2=80=9CC=E2=80=9D shape retainers from So=
uthwick are a universal fit for =E2=80=9CLarge=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9C Small=
=E2=80=9D Ford rear ends.=C2=A0 That is why the holes are elongated. Southw=
ick uses the =E2=80=9CSmall=E2=80=9D Ford bolt pattern, and the Small retai=
ner that fits it overlaps with the bearing a lot. I ordered some Small reta=
iners from the Bronco Graveyard in SE Michigan. Easier than making my own.
Regard,
Phil

I made a shim out of a bronze thrust washer purchased from McMaster Car (pa=

You can use a seal in the axle tube to stop gear oil from reaching the bearing.  The bearings are sealed, so gear oil doesn't need to get to them.  This is only necessary if you are having a problem, but can be preventative as well.  I also, smear Hylomar or the Porsche equivalent, Curlty on the bearing o-ring to help seal things up nice.  
I also have Teflon baffles next to the carrier bearings to limit the amount of gear oil that gets down the axle tubes.
Just minutes before my first race ever, and in my TR3 in 2013 at Sonoma, suited up and ready to go, I noticed a couple drops of gear oil on my otherwise perfectly clean rear wheel while checking the lug torque.  I quickly pulled the wheels and drums and wrapped disposable shop towels on the axles and zip tied them on.  Got me thought the race without a problem.
When I got the car home, I took it apart and found that the outer bearing race had cracked clean across, allowing gear oil to pass bye.  
I had not known and also the company that built the axle with all new parts and a new TranX diff, that the standard centering pin needed to be removed from the TranX for the semi-floating Moser axles.  Once things were completely installed, the axle bearings had been side loaded in tension, causing the outer race to fail. That's called, learning things the hard way.  The centering pin also broke, as I found half of it lying in the axle tube after I pulled the axles.  So, at least I didn't need to pull everything apart to get the pin out.

So after seeing what happened to Dad=E2=80=99s bearings with the extra play=
, I decided to check mine. &nbsp;Work was done at a different time; likely =
different batch of parts. &nbsp; My bearings are seated in the correct plac=
e, (looks to not be banging back and forth).&nbsp;but you can see one has b=
een spinning. &nbsp;Better retainers should fix, but will know more when I =
pull it apart. &nbsp;Good to check these things! &nbsp;(Pic below)<div><br>=
