blumarln Wrench Fetcher B Joined: May 2015 Posts: 47 Florida	Hi All, When I pulled the rear axle bearings and seals on my 54 1/2 ton, there was a plate (closest to the differential) then the seal, then the bearing. Is this the correct orientation for reassembly? I ask because it seems odd, wouldn't the seal be the last item inserted into the axle tube? Does the bearing not need to be lubricated by the rear end oil? Thanks!!!
