Rear Axle Help
So far this is what I've bought.
Master Diff Overhaul kit, YK C8.25-B
Axle bearing and seals, AK 6410
Gear set, YG C8.25-373
3 qts gear lube
Which is the correct axle bearings and seals kit, ak 1559 or ak 6410?
What else might I need to rebuild my rear axle?

Not sure of brand of part numbers shown, but what I suspect on the axle bearings is.
One is the OEM style bearing that is oiled through the diff. oil.
The other is what some call an axle saver bearing........ Basically it is a sealed bearing and moves the axle seal to a different spot on the axle. Really handy when you have a groove worn in the axle from the seal....... Saves buying a new axle.
May be something else, but its a possibility. Short of that, I would contact the manufacture and ask.
