Hi folks, Ok i decided to change the balljoints on my 93 F150 4x4 and everything went as planned until i got to the point of putting back the disk bearing. This is were i need your help, because i can't remember which end goes in first.... On the back of the Rotor the small end goes in first (i know this because i did not remove it) but should i be inserting the big end of the bearing or the small end of the bearing for the other side?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you look inside the hub assembly there is a race that the bearing fits into. The bearing is only supposed to go in one way and is somewhat obvious if you can see the race.

Anyways, as I recall the D44 axles have the bearings have the tapered ends facing each other kinda like this > < . There is one inner and one outter bearing and if you look at the hub you'll see the tapered bearing race it fits into.
