axel bearing replacement i know how to slide the axel out. how do i get the axel bearings out? do i grease them before reinstalling them? any tip will be helpful!
I believe the bearing is held in place by the axle/ seal and it should just come out
once the axle is out of the way. When you remove the c-clips and calipers it should just fall apart. You dont have to pack them, they use the rear end oil.

Not exactly that easy you will need to remove the bearings with a slide hammer, and save the old races to use to beat the new bearings in. put light grease on them for new instalation

If you have the diff out, you can use a long drift or ? and beat it out from the other side a lot easier. Sometimes the slide hammer will get them cawked sideways and make them more difficult to get out. Sometimes a little nudge in will break them loose and allow you to pull them out easier.
