I pressed off the abs gear, using a bearing seperator. Then removed the circlip. Then Pressed off spacer, I got a screwdriver and destroyed the bearing housing so all rolllers fell out which gave me a lip for seperator. Then pressed that off. Thats it. Seal and backing plate pulls off by hand...

Thats one side done. Damn thats all pressed on tight. Thought I was going to break my 12t press

Its starting.. Question did you guys have issues with the bearing outer case? Seems to be on tight. Did you fellas just stick it in the vise and tap out the bearing out? Bought bearings from Statewide Bearings, 84 Greens rd Dandynong Vic, for $60.50 inc GST a side and they will now be stocking...

Still ringing around, just rang another diff joint in geelong. "Its an actual prick of a job" he said. "You need a special jig and rex gorell will only sell whole axles" pffft "Press it off and press it back on" I said and gave him the kit no. and all. Ill have to get back to you. Now got it...

So here are my options. I can get a kit from Geelong for $80 a side and $70 in Melbourne but can't park a B double next to it. A press 20t for $275 and Do it myself all up about $435 and keep the press. Can pull out shafts myself and have a company do for $440 Or drop off, and pickup that...

Found this

Can't forget the football

Just say to your missus "how am I gunna have kids with my next wife" !

Thanks for the advise, like the idea of the slide hammer. I'll figure out what I'm doing tomorrow for definite. I'm sort of glad I don't have to touch the diff coz I don't understand until I've physically played and shown how to setup.

Stupid cheapauto breaker bar for me, and a leg got me 120deg.

Thanks, hopefully wont be to expensive and ill get them to do it all. If not ill pull out and get it pressed.

Hi guys. Last night I drove my STX 08 home from work turned right and CLUNK! Got home, pulled up in the garage put stands under and shit the rear axles have a a fair bit of movement. This is when I started searching. I found this thread and their really isnt that many about bearing replacement...

Good stuff at least you found problem.

Could be when the (hopefully) new tentioner went on the gasket was put back on and the right way so holes align up.
