So, i bought a new eaton diff, and tonight tried to press the carrier berings on it. they are new made by ratech (pn 3001K) problem is is that the berings will not seat all the way down. has anyone had any probles with this .. eaton is PN 19599-010.
im thinking that it may just be the poorly made japan berings

i made a crappy paint illustration to show that the eaton has a slight radiuos on it, but my bering is flat.. im sure that is the problem but what bering should i use?

 

I thought Ratech was a good supplier.....wrong. I could have gotten Timken's for less at Advance.

BUT......... just yesterday I had no problems pressing mine on a new Torsen. The same bearing kit as you posted.

 

hey can you still take any pics of that, id like a side shot seeing the top of the bering, or do you have any part of where the axles slide into sticking out beyond the bering?

 

I can take a pic. But I'm not sure what you want.

 

Here are a few shots of the bearing on my old Eaton.
I would have taken shots of the other side, but that side is broken.
The ear where the bearing presses on sheared off.

 

exactly what i needed, thanks.. your bering is pressed on about 1/8" further than mine will go.

 

Sounds like you have the wrong bearings?

 

no, its correct bering, just crappy manufacturing. i got some made in usa berings today and they look a lot better
