Rear axle bearings

[jeff tarquinio <tarquinio_jeff@domain.elided>]

Last night, I just happened to witness an '86 Bronco 9 in. rear end being 
rebuilt, I dont know if we can make a comparison, but here's what I 
witnessed.  The old brearings coming out were tapers with the seal behind 
the race in the housing.  The new set up was what I would call a one piece 
setup with the bearing and seal being pressed on to the axle then the whole 
unit slid into the housing.  I don't know what brought on the change, but 
you may run into the same change in D44 apps.  Not sure though.
Food for thought,
