Wait, your shop wanted $500 to pop out the bearing and replace it, or to do the whole job?

I don't think you have to replace the bearing, gnarly, but its one of those things where you just feel better knowing its all been done

 

no they wanted $500 for the whole job, and i replced the bearing aswell becuase when i took it all apart i found that the old bearing was stupidly lose and wobbly so i figuerd i might as well replace that seeing as i already had it all apart

 

good to see you succeed. i told you, you would wonder why they want to charge 500 for something pretty simple.

glad to help out man

 

haha yeah, thankyou so much for your help

 

Nice! I replaced mine as well, I didn't want to have to dig into my axle again for a while! Good work man!

 

allot of times what happens is that, the axle seal goes bad and it allows gear oil into the bearing. the oil ends up flushing all the grease out of the bearing, no grease = a bad bearing. so like said above, its usually a good idea to change them both while your in there.

glad you got it done!

 

Yup subscribed to this thread. Troy and I sometimes have access to presses, but many don't and I will refer them to this info here!

 

Mine is leaking also. I'm going to do this this weekend. Inner seal, outer seal, bearings...What else will I be needing from the auto parts store?

 

You'll need some moly grease to pack the bearings with....
