I'm re-assembling the rear axle on my SV and I have a question about the inner sludge guard.
The outer sludge guard is pressed into the axle housing and I never removed it during disassembly so I know it is still there.
I have a question about what the inner sludge guard looks like. I never removed the bearings from the axle so I think the inner sludge guard is still on the axle. However, I can't find any good pictures to compare with my assembly to verify this.
I have attached a picture of the inner side of the axle bearing. I assume the inner sludge guard is either the thick ring on the axle shaft or the larger donut that is between the think ring and the bearing and has the wire spring wrapped around it.
I will appreciate it if someone can verify which piece is the inner sludge guard. Or if I'm missing it, what does it look like?
As a 2nd question, when I bought the paper gaskets (from SS) that go between the brake backing plate and the dust cover, I was told I needed both the .006" and the .010" gaskets. Do I use both of these together or does one go on each side of the backing plate or ?
Thanks,
Mike
