Yep - Just don't forget to put the bearing back in facing the right direction. (seal towards wheel) Simple thing but you'd be amazed at how many put it back wrong. If wrong it will last about 500 miles. My 9 incher's has the big bearing that has a o ring on outside of the bearing, to seal against the housing. (some don't) By the way, most racers don't run the axle housing seals. They want the extra oil on the wheel bearing esp. on road race cars. It's not there for oil control like most folks think, it's there as a vapor barrier and drag guys take em out to cut down on rolling resistance too. It's the little things that count.
