Took apart rear axle

[7.3Lifted]

So guys, I took apart my rear left axle to put in a new backing plate and brake shoe assembly. However there is one part that I don't know where it belongs. Stupid me for not paying attention to where it came from. I have looked at a parts break down of the sterling 10.5 and can't find where the part goes. I have pictures of the part and a rear end break down. Hopefully someone can tell me where it goes so I can put everything back together.

first question is why do you have drums in the rear rather than disc brakes?




in your diagram pic, theres a o ring at the end of the axle shaft retainer. did you put that oring on?

ah good call... I guess that is the break down of the wrong rear end. *doh*
Your right I dont have drums....

no wonder why this part is not in the picture. I will look for a proper parts diagram. In the mean time, can anyone tell me where it goes?

well the shaft is still the same, just no drum with shoe. but wtih a disc and pads instead.

but did that come off at the end of the axle shaft retainer. that pic shows a oring for that.

I believe it came off when I took the hub off

That's an oil slinger. PM me and I can put you in contact with my son. He re-did my axle a couple of weeks ago. He left it out at first and we had to buy another seal.
