Hello, I'm pretty sure I need to change the axle bearing on my car. I have never worked on the rear end. Can someone post some instructions? I'll look in my Hayne's, but that never includes potential hang ups or good tricks. I've read that the axle will probably be damaged by the bad bearing. Is this something I can verify by just removing the diff cover? Thanks.
