Ford 9" with Timken Set20 bearings axles problem
Hey everybody,
I need your help on this one. I have a Ford9" with Moser 7900FM housing ends and axles with Timken set20 bearings. I am using 98-02 Camaro'sbacking plates as my rear brake set up. I spoken with Moser tech regarding my problem, which is when I try to tighten the backing plate to the Ford 9" housing ends using the backing plate as a retainer to hold the axle in, the axle would get jammed up some how where it doesn't spin freely by hand.
When I am at a point where the axle doesn't spin freely anymore, the backing plate isn't sitting flush with the housing ends. Moser tech said that the set20 bearing set was suppose to get preload as the backing plate get tighter which is true but as the backing plate get tighter, the axle doesn't spin freely. He also said that my set up should have worked with no problem.
I bought up a potential problem of my axle maybe being a little long so as the backing plate get tighten in, the axle shaft probably jamming on the inside of the pumpkin. He said thats possible.
I need you guys advices on this. Thanks in advance.
