INSTALLING REAR AXLE SHAFTS

1. Wipe the axle housing axle shaft bearing flange and the brake support plate free of road dirt to prevent any dirt from contacting the axle shaft bearing during installation.

2. Install a new axle shaft inner oil seal using tool J-2554 by placing the. seal on the pilot end of driver (figure 33) and driving into position. I have a bearing driver set, but it only goes to 2.55" diameter. I inquired at O'Reilly's Auto Supply and was told they rent them for 48 hours for free. You pay a deposit of $62 for a set that goes over 3" and your deposit is refunded when you return it. They have quite a few tools on the same program.http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/RentalTools.oap?icid=stkToolRentalV2
The outer bearing is 2.99".
