1965-1982 Chevy Corvette Rear Wheel Bearing Assembly Exploded Diagram

This document is an exploded parts diagram of the rear wheel bearing assembly for 1965-1982 Chevrolet Corvettes, as stated in its caption '65-82 Rear Wheel Bearing Assembly.' The illustration shows how the rear hub and bearing components stack together on the independent rear suspension spindle support. On the inboard (flange) side, the diagram identifies the castle nut, washer, flange, bearing & seals, dust shield, shim, and deflector. The central component is the spindle support, to which the caliper bracket and backplate attach. On the outboard side, the drawing shows the spacer, inner and outer bearings & seals, the spindle itself, and finally the rotor & hub assembly. A reader can learn the correct order and orientation of every component in the rear wheel bearing stack-up, which parts sit between the flange and spindle support (including the adjustment shim), and where the caliper bracket and brake backplate mount relative to the spindle support. No part numbers, torque specifications, or adjustment procedures are given—this is purely a component-identification exploded view useful when disassembling, rebuilding, or reassembling a Corvette rear wheel bearing/spindle assembly.
