Desperately need help asap with center support bearing for 02 ram 1500 2wd MT
So I got the old one off it was destroyed so I just cut through the small Race not the big spacer and everything slid off easily and I’m ready to put everything back together, but I’m not 100% sure how it goes
There was a bigger thicker spacer that was maybe I don’t know an inch wide and had a groove in it in the outside on the middle that appeared to be put on after the bearing originally, then the new one came with a small metal ring that’s not nearly as wide and I’m assuming that’s what I cut off so I need to replace it
so do I use the old wide spacer also with the new smaller one since it did have both before I’m guessing I do
so then what order do I put it on the shaft? Bearing small race then the wider one?
My truck’s been out of commission for like a month because I had brake problems and as soon as I got the brake problems fixed the bearing exploded so I’m kind of desperate to get it finished tonight so I can go back to work
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you guys
