Axle Bearings
What type of axle bearings are these? They are from a 1976 Grand Prix 10 bolt 8.5" bolt in axles. The code stamped on the axle tube is AA O which should be Olds rear with 2.41 ratio. The rear is original to the car and this is the first time it's been opened. I was expecting to see a Set 9 type bearing, seal and inner retainer ring but these are tapered bearings with race set in the axle tube. The inner retainer ring is almost the same diameter as the race, one of them must have caught the lip of the race and pulled it part way out when I removed the axle.
