Outer rear axle saver wheel bearing

Good evening,

You will need to remove the cover from the differential and flush out all the debris down the tube.

No metal can get to the carrier. If it does, it will damage those bearings as well.

I use brake Kleen. Great product.

You will need around 8 cans.

Roy

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.

You have a problem. It may be a little difficult to get the clip on but otherwise, it should slide in and out easily.

Does it go through the new bearing easily?

Roy

As long as you got the pin installed, then you are good. Some have play and some do not.

You are welcome.

Same to you and your family.
