Rear wheel bearing HELP PLEASE!!!
For some reason I decided I could install rear wheel bearings since I've done headers and the intake myself. I got the cover off and for some reason I can't remember if I have to take the four bolts that hold the differential in or if I can get to the clips by rotating the driveshaft. It's driving me nuts. I've searched on here but can't seem to find them anymore.
Also, how do you guys put the magnet on a TA girdle? Superglue? lol

I don't know what 4 bolts you are talking about. Bearing support caps?
You don't Need to remove any of those, not even the differential.
Pull the diff cover off.
Pull Rotate the driveshaft until you can see the 5/16" bolt that holds the paddle (posi) or pin (non posi).
Unbolt the 5/16 bolt, slide out the paddle/pin.
Push the axle in, towards the diff. It is usually easier to have someone do this while you pull the c clip off of the axle.
Slide the axle out.
Buy/Rent an slide hammer and axle bearing puller set the axle bearing out.
You may have to sand down any burrs inside of the bearing housing.
Use a Driver to install a new bearing and then the seal.
