It's a repair bearing, that is how they seat in the housing.

ok, whats a repair bearing and why? is the seal inside the bearing?

pwb

aha, a repair bearing is a new bearing that use another place on the axle :-) I didnt know that was possible, he he.

So you're saying the repair bearing uses an unworn section of the axle to ride on? Why not just replace the axle?

A used rear left from junkyard from a 1997 with 200000km cost 300$ in Norway.

What rear-end is that,and where can get some info on the repair bearings? I'm looking at two new axles in a Dana 35. Thanks

pwb

Dana 35 C. I think you could get them at www.timken.com ?

Maybe this?

Yep that's it RP5707, they are designed for temporary use when a replacement axle is not available. It will get you back on the road and they will last around a year in most cases as the bearing is narrower and the seals tend to leak

Could i remove the axle to see whats wrong or would that destroy this bearing/seal? I dont know how long it have been in there, i think its leaking a litle bit, not much but the brakedust looks more wet on the side this is used.

Hmmm, your link shows up fitting 1988-2002 Fords. Same rears in Fords?

Ouch!! Brother, I feel your pain. Your wealth of available used parts are poor and overseas shipping sucks. The only way in some countries to get new parts is to send someone you trust (hard to find in itself) the money and have him ship you the part direct.

The next big questions, if i would remove that and use a new axle, how do i get the c-clip out? It dont looks like there is possible to push the axle so it would free the c-clip.
If i get the axle out, how do i remove that bearing?

dave1123

The c-clip is in the differential carrier assembly. You have to pull the cross pin carrying the planetary gears, push the axle in, and pull the c-clip and axle out. The bearing gets pulled with a slide hammer.
