So, after doing some searching on what parts I needed to do my chevy knuckle/5on5.5 conversion I came across a napa part number for a spindle bearing set (BK1) but now that I bought the set I can't figure out what some of the stuff is or in what order or where to put it. I've attached a image with the parts it came with. :( Can someone walk me through this??

Bearing goes in the back of the spindle followed by the small seal with the V part facing out. The metal ring presses on the outer axle shaft, then the large rubber seal goes on top of that, thenl the plastic seal goes on.

thanks, just found out these spindles came off of a 72 k10 with disc brakes. Napa doesn't have this kit listed for this application. Their book has a oil seal and bearing listed instead of BK01. So, now I'm really confused. What the hell do I need???

The early discs took a regular seal in the back of the spindle. Look for a later model spindle such as a 74-75ish.

Thanks for all the help KWTMECH. I've allready got the spindles so I'm going to use them for now. So, for these it should go bearing then the small seal then the large oil seal (that I bought today) or is it just the bearing and the oil seal that the napa book called.
