Is there a certain depth to press the new bearing in ? Or is flush going to work? This is on a 10 bolt.
Thanks,

Spindle Bearing Depth ?

I believe flush is correct.
OK, that makes sense. Thanks,
After going out and looking at it again, the one spindle bearing was fine and it's still in the other spindle so that gave me a depth to check. So AV8TER, was right with his dimension. At first i thought the small grease seal had to be touching the spacer, but with the chamfer on the inner diameter of the spacer. It would be out of the spindle bore in order to touch.
So the little grease seal must be the only seal keeping the grease from oozing out the bore?

The little seal goes in with the lips facing out, towards the differential. It needs to keep water and mud out more than it keeps grease in. The chamfer on the plastic spacer (thrust washer) goes towards the u-joint. It will match the radius on the stub shaft. The face of the thrust washer that touches the spindle will be the flat side. The needle bearing goes in just deep enough so that the little seal will fit flush with the end of the spindle where the thrust washer rides.
