bearing/hub question
i couldnt find any teflon washers on the assembly and the axle nuts came off with the weight of the breaker bar!
where are the teflon washers located and how many should i buy?
also if i heated the t55 bolts should i replace them?
this is for the rear.

All of the inner washers that I have purchased from GM are iron oxide coated, not teflon.
Why would teflon coating be required? The washers are firmly clamped between the inner bearing sleeve and the raised step on the spindle. There is no movement between the two.
GM lists them as "seals" not "washers". Their function is to seal the gap between the spindle and the outer sleeve of the bearing.
