Proper Bearing & Backing Plate Assembly for Trick Chassis ’98-’02 F Body 9″ Rear End Axle with LS1 Backing Plates

This is a common question, so here’s a step-by-step guide to get it right the first time:

Critical Bearing Installation Steps:

1. Install Wheel Studs First – Use Loctite & torque them properly before moving on
2. Position the Backing Plates – Slide them onto the correct axle:
   • Long axle = Passenger side
   • Short axle = Driver side
3. Press the Bearings On – Make sure the O-ring is closest to the axle flange (see pic 1)
4. Press on the Lock Rings – Do this only after the bearings are fully seated against the bearing spacer
5. Install the Seals – Use a seal installer to press them into the housing ends (see pic 2)

Getting these steps right ensures a proper fit and long-lasting performance. ????
