Going to swap the old 6 lug axles for 5 lugs. Want to put new bearings in at the same time. Anyone gone this route? Anyone know what tools I will need?
Thanks, CST350 |

Re: Rear axle bearing install
Not as easy as swapping them out. This will give you a pretty good idea:

Re: Rear axle bearing install
Looks to be a bit more involved than I was expecting. I was thinking I could just swap the axle bearings and leave the diff alone. Thanks for the link.

Re: Rear axle bearing install
Yes you can just swap the axle end bearings.
