lil89ram50 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 so i am putting new brakes in the 71 521 today, and i pulled the axles out to install longer studs, and have a problem. there is about a 1/4in spacer of some sort that fell out. it has one tapered inner edge. is there a break down of the way these bearings are installed?

flatcat19 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Most guys that install longer studs drill a hole in to the backing plate. Look in the how-to section for 521 studs. Your Haynes manual should give a diagram on placement for these things. Quote Link to comment
bilzbobaggins Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Would the breakdown of the parts catalog help you? Its page 591 of the parts catalog on the olddatsuns website. Hope this helps. Jeff Quote Link to comment
