Yes.....73' C body
Then something is wrong. The hubs should be seated in until a cotter pin can be inserted through that castle.

That can't be it then...
I'm trying to find an explosion showing the order on which everything is mounted on the spindle.
The bearing doesn't look like it's in there right in the lower pic. It doesn't look like it's in the race.

You do have inner bearing for 73 c body it is a one year only.

Here's a closer pic of inner bearings..I don't see them...sticking out of the race part?

Now you've got it.
For future reference whenever seating a seal, I always use a section of pvc pipe of the proper diameter of the outer edge of the seal. I'm uncomfortable with using force on the inner edge. It seats evenly that way. You'll need to remember that when you replace your transmission seal...
I also don't see the INNER bearing as Big_John said. From the pic I only see the race and the seal. The seal will also prevent the bearing from coming back out.
Those are the correct parts for '73 Spindles 7018R rotors & A16, A17 bearings - they're what I used.
You can see the race, so the bearing isn't seated down against it.
It's hard to tell, but it looks like the bearing is against the seal.
Is that inner bearing in backwards???

No...it cant go in backwards...it has an angle to it..

The inner race came pre-installed, right? Like the outter?
The bearing (1) should be in the race (2). Something is wrong.

an individual race came with each bearing. The rotor already has a race machined into cause the outer bearings would not fit in it.

This is how they went in.....minus the race for the outer bearing..it is machined into the rotor (ref pic)
If there was a race for the outer already pressed into the rotor hub, then there would also be a race pressed in for the outer.
Did you put another race in the inner?
Did you put another race in the inner?

I'm confused.
You are saying the rotor came with the outer race pre-installed and no inner race pre-installed??

It seems the rotors came with the race for the outer bearings already machined into them. The race that came with the outer bears (smaller diameter bearings) wont fit with the bearings into the hole.
