Re: 74 K20 Wheel Bearing and Race Diagram

You pack the front and not the rear. The rear gets lubed from the gear oil. The front is isolated from the inner axles and is treated the same as a 2wd spindle/bearing/hub. But,you don't use grease in the lock out hub,you just oil it up.
The inner bearings and races are larger that the outside on front for sure. It's self evident how they fit. The taper always goes into the race.
