Re: Rear axle and bearing change instructions
If you go ahead with the bearings removal, either you or have a shop do it for you, and you find out the axles are damaged due to wear on the area the bearing runs on.....you don't have to replace the axles. There's an alternative using an offset bearing/seal setup so you can "extend" their useful life and unless an upgraded set of axles is on the works. The part# is VLRP5707 or RP5707 under the Timken brand. JIC.
