Cheers man.
Will have a bit more of a play with it soon. Just trying to sort the bearings thing, which it isn't the best time of year to do.

Re: Removing bearings from rear axle
Just been doing some more work on this and have found a nachi bearing kit that looks like it works. As per the picture below, the new kit comes with a collar like the one to the left of the picture, which isn't stepped. Currently the car has a collar like the one to the right of the picture (which is stepped). Does anyone know if using a non-stepped collar will cause any issues?

Prob is I can't find a stepped one. The only things I can think not stepping could affect would be oil seal, or seating some how in the axle. Any body with a 1200 and H165 used a similar kit to this?510BRE wrote:go the stepped one will be tighter on axle........ hate axles slidding out off diffs

Re: Removing bearings from rear axle
Thanks Bart. Just went and did more measuring etc. and I really cant' see the point of the step unless it is just to create a secondary oil seal or something. Anyway, think I will just go the non-collared and hope for the best!!Bartman wrote:I run un-stepped lock collars on all my datsuns atm.
Just working out if I can get the front bearing seals out now without damaging them.
