Note. To remove the bearing and bushing from the axle shaft, you will need an appropriate bearing puller.
1. Remove the right axle shaft as described in paragraph 2.
2. Verify that the bearing outer race rotates smoothly and easily, with no binding or excessive play between the inner and outer races. If necessary, replace the bearing as described below.
3. Using a long universal bearing puller, carefully remove the bushing and intermediate bearing from the axle shaft (pic. 6.3). Apply some grease to the inner race of the new bearing, and then install the bearing on the end of the axle shaft. Using a hammer and a suitable piece of pipe with machined ends that abuts only on the inner race of the bearing, install the new bearing on the axle shaft, until it stops against the outer element of the constant velocity joint. Once the bearing is correctly positioned, push the bearing bush onto the axle shaft until it rests against the bearing inner race.
Pic. 6.3. Using a long bearing puller, remove the intermediate bearing from the right axle shaft
4. Make sure. that the bearing rotates freely, then install the axle shaft as described in paragraph 2.
