I purchased this axle because the exact replacement Currie axle has been backordered for over 2 months. We cut this one down to 26 & 3/8 inches and it worked out perfect. The bearing needs to be pressed on. The bearing retainer sleeve needs pressed on, we heated the bearing retainer sleeve up in the toaster oven first and it was still an extremely tight fit. The lug studs need to be pressed in.

The axle worked fine, but beware of the bearing retainer. It only works with drum brakes or other brakes with thin backing plates. Wilwood disc brakes require their own special bearing retainer. If the supplied retainer had an open end, like the Wilwood model, it would be an improvement. If you find that the supplied retainer does not work for your application, you'll have to cut it off.
