i was bored and the cruiser is at carwltec...so i took the 420 and installed the plate. do i leave the bearing thats allready on the top shaft on there AND put the one that came w/ the plate on the outside..or am i supposed to take the one that came on the tranny out and onloy have the one wardens bearing on the outside of the plate? cant post pics...so i hope this explaines it....
---btw...the only prob i could se arising l;eavin the sm420 bearing, is the gasket not smashing down all the way. but it looks ok after ive tightened it down. thanks!

You spelled Crawltec wrong.:flipoff2:

I think the bearing goes to the transfer case not the tranny, and you have to put it in the case first. I can't picture it exactly, but i don't know how much further you can go without the t-case.

Have fun

I am not 100% on that, so check you instructions or wait until someone else replys.
OR

When in doubt, clean the garage for when the cruzah comes home.

What is Alan and Luke hooking you up with?

I assume you're talking about the output shaft bearing on the tranny, if that be the case leave it in the tranny. The plate bearing supports the output shaft going into the t-case.
