ILLEGAL REGAL™ said:well I guess the 7.5 is different... never done that to a 12bolt or ford 8.8.... the backing plate simply gets sandwiched between the c-clip eliminator and the housing flange, I cant see how it'd need to be clearenced any.80montecarlo said:ILLEGAL REGAL™ said:they work fine with factory drum brakes and dont need to do a thing to them or the housing itself. Now the c-clip eliminator is a bearing pressed onto the axle and I'm not positive if stock axles are the same diameter as what they sell to use with them.. I'd call them and check.
As stated previously you have to cut the bearing ends off to 1/4" away from the backing plate flange, and then notch the backing plates to allow for the c-clip elim to mount flush to the flange, I just finished this on my 7.5" 10 bolt on Monday
X2 I did a spool and c clip eliminators in my 12 bolt and I didnt have to cut a thing. I used Moser axles though, and the eliminators have to be pressed on.
