I need help determining what rear-end I have. The car is a Canadian 1970 Dart custom, 225, A904, etc.. It has BBP axles and -if I counted right, a ten-bolt cover with a plug. I'll count the bolts up again tomorrow when my brother brings the car back, but I'm 99.9% sure I remembered all the numbers between one and ten. Sounds like I need to replace me some wheel bearings and I think I'd like to buy some that fit.

Thanks in advance,
Nat

Sounds a more like an 8¼" rear axle, to me. In any event, it's not original to the car. Got 9" drums or 10" drums on it?

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Nines. Are the bearing systems the same for the 7 1/4 and 8 1/4? (I mean the sealed bearing and retainer style. Not the sizes) I might just buy both sizes and see which ones fit..... I could always return the ones I don't use...

Thanks,
Nat

Ok, so I think I'm 90% convinced I have an 8 1/4" rear under my dart. (10 bolts, drain plug, cover is not round) Now, does anybody have an exploded diagram of an 8 1/4? Specifically the wheel bearings/axle shafts I'd like to see what the insides look like before I explode the one under the car.

Thanks in advance,

Nat

If you want pictures I have part of a disassembled 8 1/4 in the yard. All I have is the empty housing and axles though. The cover was discarded along with the rusty ring and pinion. All I wanted was the Sure-Grip. PM me and I'll snap some photos.
