So I got my log manifolds all cleaned up and painted with high temp paint. I had to drill out the studs and put in helicoils. They will have to heat cure once the motor is running again.

Also I put in the axle seal, finished the one rear brake job, got my drums turned.
Started to put my new axle shaft assembly together and hit a wall.
The axle shaft came with two lock rings and the bearing came with one as well. So now I have three different lock rings none of which match what came off the original axle. All three are different sizes.
Are these a critical measurement?
Do they even contact any surface other then holding the bearing on the shaft?
I tried looking at google and utube for answers and even called Ames. They didn't know .
The lock rings are different od id and width but they were cold in my garage so i will remeasure the id once they get more ambient
