Final-Assembly: Once all of the welding is complete, the suspension can be assembled.
11.
Now is a good time to fully assemble the rear end by installing gears, hubs, axles, and brakes.
Note:
This can also be done after installing the housing into the car. Assemble the hub as shown below.
Be sure to pack the wheel bearings with high quality grease. Do not over torque the axle nut! The hub
should spin freely with zero endplay. To achieve this, assemble the hub as shown. Tighten the axle nut
and spin the hub a dozen or so rotations. Now back
the axle nut off 2 full turns. Then tighten the
axle nut until it just starts to get snug. At
this point the hub should spin freely
with little to no resistance, and
there should be no
endplay in the
bearing. Bend
the tab on the
lock ring into the
groove on the axle nut. This
will prevent the axle
nut from loosening.
