when I did mine,I asked Moser about it they said the 489 with the block in would be ok to run it... I ran it 8 yrs or so and never a problem out of it,daily driving aleast 90 miles a day I swaped to a 742 open and took a cold chiesle to the block and broke it in 3 piece and removed it ran about a yr or so,then had a green bearing go out and start leaking oil replaced the greens and run it with out the axle tube seals this go round as well... o-ring on the bearing seals the tube up so.IMHO..either way will work and end seals are not needed either but the axle seals are a double protection on the ends against leaking you have to remove the carrier and ring gear to remove the cross pin IIRC some do ...some dont...up to you

I also give this idea I have on the bearing failure... they dont take side loading well from what I have read and been told... mine was pushing 8-9 yrs at 90 miles a day I hauled a tow dolly about 200 miles,it had a fishtail motion when empty wagged my truck the 200 miles back and forth all the way till loaded then towed it like on glass..real smooth and no fishtailing I think the back and forth did the bearing in, cause of the side loading back and forth it was bad enuff empty to slow me down from 60 to 45 mph couple days later it was leaking I have done lots of hard cornering,dough nuts,power slides,and just plane hammering on it I think the 200 miles of steady back and forth side loaded them enuff to wear the 8-9 yr old bearing out... just my experiance with them my new set is working fine and no leaks with just the o-ring on the bearing...no axle tube seals in this go round

If you are running stock length axles with snap-ring style Green bearings, the thrust button does not need to be removed.
if you use the conventional green bearings you will have to remove the thrust button?

It’s so funny; many of these types of things never come with instructions. Yet after the first time you do it you wonder why they would?

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

you are right, you are keeping the oil in the axle And Cass will get you about the best pricing too.

Unfortunately, Green bearings don't come with instructions. They are easy to install, however. They press on in the order pictured in this thread.

I used a press to remove mine, you can go to a machine shop, a brick and motor parts store, or do a search on some of the shade tree ways to remove and install these as everyone has their own preference.

I bought these bearings with the snap ring. I have Moser ends on my housing, and Moser axles and I could not get the axles to install until I removed the new inner seals from the housing ends. They would hit the seal and push back out a bit. The seals were for sure seated all the way in and they were the very thin bodied seals shown. Just a heads up if you are using a similar combo of parts...

I hoped that was it as well, but the ring was making contact with the seal. The seals were installed correctly, and completely seated. I don't know what is different about my set-up, but it is what it is...

I recommend my Green bearing maxi-kit. It includes a pair of snap ring Green bearings, as well as all other gaskets and seals you may need for $85. USPS (Postal) shipping to Canada runs $40. Please E-mail me for more information doctordiff@gmail.comThanks, Cass
