The EXCEL from Richmond XL-1021-1 differential bearing and install kit gathers the bearings and service parts needed to set up a ring and pinion in the GM 8.5 in. 10-Bolt rear axle. Re-gearing or rebuilding a differential without fresh bearings and seals invites noise and premature failure, so a kit like this is the standard companion to a new gear set or a full overhaul. It fits select Chevy, GMC, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac & Isuzu vehicles from 1970 to 1999; the complete vehicle application list appears below. Components are matched to the GM 8.5 in. 10-Bolt housing so the setup can be completed in one pass.

EXCEL from Richmond XL-1021-1 Features:

• Designed for the GM 8.5 in. 10-Bolt rear axle
• Pair this kit with a new ring and pinion, or use it to refresh bearings and seals during a differential overhaul; the ring and pinion is sold separately.

• Koyo tapered bearings (carrier, front and rear pinion, pilot where applicable)
• Brush
• Cover gasket (or RTV)
