FINAL DRIVE
2. From the back side, tap on the outer bearing race with a
drift punch in the reliefs as shown.
NOTE: Drive bearing out evenly by tapping on outer
race only. Once bearing is at bottom of casting,
support casting on outer edges so bearing can be
removed.
3. Replace bearing.
NOTE: Due to extremely close tolerances and
minimal wear, the bearings must be inspected
visually, and by feel. While rotating bearings by
hand, inspect for rough spots, discoloration, or
corrosion. The bearings should turn smoothly and
quietly, with no detectable up and down movement
and minimal movement sideways between inner and
outer race.
4. Inspect bearing housing for scratches, wear or damage.
Replace housing if damaged.
Rear Hub Assembly
1. Support bottom of bearing carrier housing.
2. Start bearing in housing.
3. Press bearing into place until outer race bottoms on
housing.
4. Install snap ring into groove.
Installation
1. Insert CV shaft into rear hub bearing carrier .
2. Align bottom of carrier housing and lower control arm.

securing housing.
CAUTION
Use an arbor press only on the outer race, as bearing
damage may occur.
