This is my first birfield replacement. Thanks to all those who have gone before me and provided great documentation.
So I pulled the axle seal out and saw a ring laying behind it. It metal and not rubber. I hooked it with a wire so it wouldnt float down the axle housing. Should this have been in the backside of the axle seal?
A couple of pics attached. My birfield joint was empty, all the pieces parts were floating around on the inside.
Looking forward to moving forward. So whats with the ring?
Thanks!
