#4: Re: rear axle bearing Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Thu May 17, 2012 11:26 am ---- if your confident with your mechanical skills and have patience it isnt too bad a job but if your in any doubt id get a 2nd hand axle.
just find a lot of good axles are being thrown away because people cant be a**e to change the bearings it doesnt always ruin the stub. i rebuilt mine over the winter was only on 65k but i thought id do it as a matter of course while i was adjusting the rear height so i know the axle will stay good

#8: Re: rear axle bearing Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 12:21 pm ---- better to re-con it than getting a scrap yard axle
#9: Re: rear axle bearing Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu May 17, 2012 12:51 pm ---- would be interested in this also as i have no clue really where bearings etc are
will be doing it soon
#10: Re: rear axle bearing Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu May 17, 2012 1:12 pm ---- My bearings are fine, there's no play in the arm yet it has dented the bearing surface on the stub axle...so if you think its a case of just sticking new bearings on a worn axle then be prepared for a surprise. In other words if you have an evidently worn axle with play in the bearings it will be worse than mine.

there is a guide on here so as on youtube...
#12: Re: rear axle bearing Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu May 17, 2012 3:19 pm ---- just done a search on youtube seams to be a few guides so might use them as a guide, is it worthwhile changing all bearings etc
i will be changing the mount bushes as they are shot, any special tool needed, also is it easier to remove the tbs while the axel is off the car

i am struggle to remove the bush...
bearing is easy, definitely worth to do it if you want to keep the car for at least few more year
#14: Re: rear axle bearing Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Fri May 18, 2012 11:40 am ---- his it possible to change the bushes with normal tools or do you need a press to get them in
#15: Re: rear axle bearing Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri May 18, 2012 12:45 pm ---- Why not buy a 2nd axle and re-build it then swap it over? Then you could rebuild your old one and sell it or scrap it??
