Installing C-clip elims and spool this week have ?? still

[351wcoupe]

As the title states I'm finally building a rear for my 87 coupe.
Moser 31 spline with c-clip eliminators.
Moser full spool and going to try a 3.73 from the current 3.55.

My questions are about the c-clips. With the kit what do I do about the axle bearings and grease seals?
Do I remove the bearing and leave the seal? or does the c-clip bracket seal the grease?

if you've never done it before, take it to someone who has...
with the c-clip eliminator kits you need to cut the ends off the axel tubes and weld on the new ends...

No need to take it somewhere. They're easy. When installing 9" type housing ends/bearings, you have to cut off and weld on new flanges. For C-clip eliminators, you'll remove the stock axle bearings and seals and throw them away. You'll see on the end of the axle flange there is a raised portion. That gets cut down to about 1/8" (don't remember the exact dimension- you'll have to look on the directions that come with them). Now the c-clip eliminators will bolt in from the back side through the backing plates and thread into the back of the c-clip eliminator. You'll use a coat of RTV on the backside of the c-clip eliminator to seal them up. Clean the surface of the backing plate good.
