Seems I have an axle bearing that has some play in the rear, thinking it will need replacing. If I grab the wheel it moves up and down and slides in and out also.
After taking the hub off the then the outer oil seal, does the axle really just pull right out with a slide hammer? I guess id thought there was more holding the axle into the housing.
Kind of what I have gathered from the repair manual I have and replacing the outer oil seal on the opposite side. The axle also has some movement in and out of the carrier as well..does this sound bad or just part of something that will be remedied when replacing the axle bearing
Where will I be able to take it to have the bearing installed...manual says it will need special installation tools.
Thanks
