Saxo rear axle bearing replacement

[Slevan_7]

Guy's I'm after some advice, I've stripped the rear axle of the vtr and dismantled it, it's all clean and repainted.

Now the bearing kit I have has one wider bearing and a thinner one, which goes on the inside and outside?

Also one arm has a lip on the outside so it looks as I'm going to have to push the bearing for that side all the way down from the other end?

Sorry if there's a guide for this on hear but I couldn't find it.

Iirc, one bearing has a small rubber seal in it, and that goes facing out the way on the INNER side of the arm

Okay brilliant just looked at them didn't notice that before. The one arm looks fun to do with the lip blocking the bearing going in that side.

I'll post my hard work when I eventually finish it.

probably remains of the old arb seal, not a lip.

Yep,there shouldn't be any lip inside the trailing arm,should be able to fit the bearing from either side.

Not a happy boy tonight yesterday I popped the rear bearings in the arms but I still have some other parts to clean up so didn't test if the side on nicely, one bearing set was expensive I originally only needed one side as I only had play in that arm but on a strip down the pin was scrap. So and this was a few weeks ago I got another car for scrap value and took the axle however it the turned into a full recon of the rear axle ( being me over doing everything)
So I needed another set of bearings I found a cheap set on ebay and no surprise there crap and don't fit snugly.
To make it worse there half a millimetre over OEM spec.

My own fault I guess
