59 Healey--302, 5sp Tremec, Jag rear end and 72 spoke knock offs around.

Reading your Jag rear end talk. I am right there. I have about 1/8 inch wiggle measured at the outer rim diameter at both wheels. I seem to get possible rear steering when throwing the car left and right and it seems abit twitchy. Acceleration and hands off driving are nice and straight. Every thing else in the rear end is tight as I went thru it when installing a newly rebuilt pumpkin. Anyway if I take off the axel bolt and slip the spindle off does this expose the spacers you are mentioning?? I am hoping that my bearings to race gap is abit to wide and can be adjusted with new spacers. Also how are these bearings greased --thru the small cap or do you have to dissassemble and pack them?? I can see some grease on the axel surface when looking thru the dust cap hole--but the cavity is otherwise empty.
