FINAL DRIVE
6. Remove the rear wheel hub assembly.
7. Remove the bolts that attach the rear bearing carrier to the
upper and lower A-arms.
8. Remove the bearing carrier from the rear drive shaft.
9. Rotate bearing by hand and check for smooth rotation.
Visually inspect bearing for moisture, dirt, or corrosion.
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.
10. Replace bearing if moisture, dirt, corrosion, or roughness
is evident.
Bearing Replacement
Bearing Removal
1. Remove outer snap ring.
2. From the back side of the bearing carrier, tap on the outer
bearing race with a drift punch in the reliefs as shown.
3. 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.
4. Inspect the bearing carrier housing for scratches, wear or
damage. Replace rear bearing carrier if damaged.
