I got my bearing and seal today from the car parts store. It is a sealed one so atleast I dont have to get axle grease all over my hands packing it :)
I found a website:
http://www.dippy.org/svcman/sm03a.html
It talks about the 7 1/4 and the 8 1/4. I just want to make sure, there is NO CLIP on the 7 1/4 ??? From the description on this site they talk about removing one, but maybe thats just for the 8 1/4.
I dont want to be yanking on the axle shaft and end up breaking something because I didnt remove a little clip in the diff.
I think I will try to find a machine shop or some place with a press open on the weekend to have them do the bearing swap. Might as well do it right!
So the bearing is pressed onto the axle or pressed into the axle housing tube?
any other little things I need to know about before getting my hands dirty tomorrow?
Thanks everyone!!!
