    Center/carrier bearing orientation - 76 C20 suburban

    There seems to be a built-in little shield on the drive shaft right in front of where the bearing sits. There is nothing towards the rear. I will send a picture of it later today.

    Center/carrier bearing orientation - 76 C20 suburban

    ok so i got a new bearing cause i damaged the other a little on disassembly. It came with a little spacer but no removable covers like the last one. No instructions for install in either. Should I just install the more open side towards the front where there is a little dust cover built into the...

    Also does anyone know where you can get the threaded dust cap that goes on the driveshaft right behind this bearing?

    pressed off the bearing today. Here is a pic. None of those dust covers fit snuggly into the bearing and are free to move around the driveshaft. Any idea how these are supposed to be installed?

    hmm it doesn't seem like those metal fittings press on or thread on to any part of the drive shaft or center bearing. I will have to take the drive shaft off to investigate further

    Ok well what about it being upside down or not? Most of the pictures ive seen are with it installed a different way. Just want to make sure this doesnt fall apart after a few more miles on the road. Guess I will take it apart to get the dust cover right at the least

    Those dust covers just move completely freely and do not seem to press on. At speed over 20-30 they make a loud clinking sound

    It should be the right one. I initially bought a unit that was to small and had to order another from rock auto. I will have to take the drive shaft out and press it off if I remember correctly. It doesnt look upside down though correct?

    Center/carrier bearing orientation - 76 C20 suburban

    Heard a clinking noise while running around testing the new build/motor. I think the culprit is the dust guard moving around that I put on the new carrier bearing I installed. Not sure If I was supposed to include that but any ideas on how its supposed to be installed? I could maybe epoxy it...

    Thanks for the advice fellas. nvrenuf, ill probably keep this vehicle forever so I might as well. Ricko, I like that idea of using the power steering hose with the an fittings. thinking 1/2 inch or -8 AN sounds close to the original size hose/fitting. Just read this article...

    Thanks man I will check that out. What do y’all think of making a AN fitting to adapt to it? seems pretty simple just looking into it.

    I’m pretty sure they were the hydraulic style but I will check. There’s a chance the fitting could be long gone. Do y’all know the approximate length of the lines if I just get some new ones made?
