Guys,
I have a moser 9" ford with GM ends. I upgraded to the hobby stock axles. I pressed the bearings on both axles. Then the retainers. On the 2nd (short) axle, when the retainer seated, part of the race popped loose, not sure why. Take a look at the picture below. The race appears that its two pieces. The dark ring stayed but the wide shiny part of the race popped loose. This is a tapered bearing that uses the differential grease to lubricate. When I looked at the race it doesn't look broken, no rough edges etc. It looks like it was just stuck to the other part. The other axle's two piece race is stuck together pretty hard. Did it break somehow or will it hurt it? Do I need to get another bearing and retainer? If its not broken, the only problem I see is the race will stay in the axle tube when I pull the axle.
