We got the rear axles pulled on the '40 half ton to replace leaking seals. Tell me about these rear outer bearings. They seam to have a good bit of play in them, Do they always have some play or should they be tight? I'm not familure with these axles. Like most bearings I'm assuming the race (pressed on the axle shaft) gets replaced at the same time? I'm more familure with tapered rollers. Man these bearings, races, and rear seals are salty! Thanks in advance.
