When you press the rear wheel bearings and bearing retainer in, I learned that you need to first put the brake back plate on the axle. Man, I felt stupid having to cut off the new bearing / retainer. Hoping to have it all back together tomorrow morning. I'm replacing the rear bearings and putting in a mini spool.
I also think I have too much backlash. I still need to read up on how to decrease the backlash. Then I should be good to go. Hoping that it isn't too time consuming to adjust it.

I would do some research on this, I have heard of guys fabricating the set up so that you did not have to remove the brakes and backing plate.

on samurais you can get sj410 backing plates cut out the center of the sj413 backing plates so the bearing slides threw i did mine now tearing down the rear end takes 15 minutes and no brake bleeding :D

TP up fordguy79! ;)

That would only help me if I had a sammy :laugh: Nah, that deserves some tp all right :laugh:
you should just chuck all that drum brake crap and through discs on it anyway, screw the backing plates altogether. IMHO. Oh, and none of us has EVER done anything that stupid. Really. ::)

What keeps the axle from coming out with this setup when you are driving?

Now I get it! I wish I saw this before I replaced my bearings this weekend. I can probably still cut around and enlarge the hole with the bearings in place but it would take longer to carefully do it. Hopefully I don't need to mess with the rear end for a while. Thanks for that tip! A cheap and very practical mod.

I'm sure that you're not the first to make that mistake.

I wish I knew about these "Gigigderros" when I did rear bearings a year ago.
I have though about taking extra Rear axles along, but the backing plates made it impractical.
With these, it would be so easy to take a set along, All Set-Up to slide in and a quart of 75-90W
20-30 minutes most and you would be back at it!!

x2. I went through 3 rear wheel bearings and two broken shafts before I finally ran out of spare stuff and had to buy new bearings, the SJ 410 plates made my life sooo much easier. I'm going to do something really similar with the yota axles, except I'm just going to do disks.
