1955-64 Chevy Rear Axle Bearing Installation
The rear axle bearings that are used on a 1955 to 1964 are a “press- on” style ball bearing. The bearing supports the axle in the rear end housing and also serves as the seal and axle retainer. An O-ring around the outside of the bearing seals to the rear end housing, while a lip seal is located on the outside face of the bearing that keeps rear end lube inside the housing. When an axle bearing starts to leak (usually because the bearing cage is disintegrating) the rear end lube will ruin the rear brake shoes. If the bearing becomes loose, it will start to roar and possibly ruin the axle and/or rear end housing. In this article we will show the proper way to remove and install new rear axle bearings.

Step 1. Jacking & Support of Car
Note: If you are using an automotive lift, parts a & b may be skipped.
a). To raise the front of the car, (depending on the jack you use) you may need to initially raise the car from the side (using the secondary jack) to gain clearance for the hydraulic jack at the front of the car. Once this is done, support the car with the jack stands located on the frames cross member as shown in Figure 1.
b). With the front of the car supported, now raise the rear of the car. This is done with the jack positioned from the side of the car. The jacking point will be the rear axle or differential housing. Once the rear of the car is in the air, supoport it with the other two jack stands, on the car’s subframe as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. You may wish to place a block of wood between the jack stand and subframe to avoid any scatches.

Toyota Landcruiser Rear Brake Upgrade Package
Toyota Landcruiser 78/79 Series Vehicles are used extensively throughout the country, and in particular, are favoured by mining operators, many in underground use where conditions are extreme. Whilst the basic vehicle is well respected by the industry, the rear disc brake arrangement has proven to be inadequate for the conditions, with the rear brake pads and hand brake both exhibiting accelerated wear way beyond the rest of the vehicle. In worst conditions, the rear brake linings will wear to the metal backing plates in a matter of weeks, resulting in total loss of rear brakes with accompanying work safety concerns. Handbrakes often fail to hold with days. Analysis of the Problem With this series of 78/79 series vehicles, Toyota moved to a rear disc brake design incorporating a drum type hand brake within the disc. There may have been reasons for this design, but it seems to have been a retrograde step when subjected to regular immersion in muddy and highly corrosive environments. There seem to have been several compromises needed to arrive at this design.
