What axle bearings???

[1in1969]

I have a 66 Chevelle w/12 bolt that I want to get rid of the c-clips, I saw some of the guys on here saying they were having some probs w/seals leaking after heavy side loads. Did anyone come up w/a solution? I was thinking about the big Ford housing ends. Any thoughts? Thanks Shawn

The Torino big bearing does have a tendency to leak. When I had a DSE/Moser 9'' I would just have to pull the brakes off, put some silicone in, and let it sit for 24 hours. It was a quick fix and would hold up pretty well for a month or so.

You should probably get some opinions from guys running tapered bearings as there is a bit of a debate going on as to which is better.

Thanks for the reply, I will be waiting to hear what the guys have to say. Shawn

do some searching on the set20. seems to be the best for the 9" for what we want to do. just make sure the retainer is THICK.
