Carl, I'm away from my resource books, but the
Rear axle exploded diagram from the 1929-57 Chevy Master parts book might help in remembering what goes where. It shows more detail than the shop manual.
The fact that this diagram spans from '29-'57 concerns me. There were a lot of changes in design over that long period of time to be represented by one diagram.
There is a 5.816 retainer that I have no idea what it does.
It refers to a "race" which I can only assume is the same as a roller bearing.
It also refers to a "deflector" which is located inboard of the curious "5.816 retainer" confusing me further based on what I took out of my axle.
