[DeTomaso] GT5S REAR AXLE BEARING SIZES

By nature of the design the later cars do seem to have a little bit more play in the rear axle/wheel, even when freshly rebuilt. I found mine had spun a bearing on the axle and I was lucky enough to have picked up some spare axles on eBay some years back, I'm not aware of anyone reproducing the later stepped axle design.

The thing is that the inner roller bearing has a loose inner race. Not
sure if you can find any suitable sealed bearing there.

The seal also seals against the inner axle flange.
