I am trying to replace the rear wheel bearings on the driver side axle. There is a 9mm bolt inside the differential that I need to take out in order to access the clips to the put the axle. That bolt won't come out. How do I take out that bolt?

Hi
Pionon bolt is 5/16" use a six point socket and 3/8" breaker or six point long wrench. They are tight and can break off causing the need to remove carrier assembly. Place a big screwdriver to wedge and keep carrier from turning.
Hope this helps
Thanks for donate
