The rear axle seal kit comes with the necessary replacement gaskets, o-rings, washer and seal for the bearing cap. On swing axle cars they should be replaced every time you take the bearing cap off. They go together in the following order: Put the new seal in the cap. Place the thin washer around the axle against the bearing and then stretch the small o-ring over the axle against the washer. Place the spacer in the bearing cap with the inner bevel cupping the small o-ring. Put a gasket around the bearing and then stretch the large o-ring around the outside of the bearing. Install the cap and be sure to torque the bolts to 42 ft. lb. Note: One of the gaskets is not used. Use Gasgacinch on the gaskets. Do not fill the transmission until the drums are torqued down to 250 ft. lb. On IRS cars, use the seal for the inner bearing only and for the outer bearing, use just the gasket and seal.
