If i can't acquire the tools, what is so difficult about pulling the axle tubes? I am concerned about removing the rear just because I don't have the tools to set the preload...or the knowledge. Anyone want to come to Minnesota to help?  |
No preload or none of that....just pull the axles......
Curious? what's wrong with your bearings? Are they bad?
The one item that will likely outlive you and it seems there is a rash of folks lately that think they need to change them...
Why are you not changing your carrier or inner bearing too while you are at it?

Edit....
BTW I've got 236K miles on the axle bearings in my truck.....still ain't givin me no troubles....
