That would have been awesome, to late now though... You have a salvage yard?

BTW we are going to have to CUT the end of the axles off to remove them after installing those retarded repair bearings. I would never recommend them to anyone.

You shouldn't have to. I didn't have to.
I did have to have my son push the axle in while I pulled the clip out.

I wish we could do that...trust me it won't work on these piece of *&%& repair bearings. They stick out just far enough to keep the c clip from coming out.

We FINALLY got the axles back out. It was a major major PITA. We had to get a 7'' angle grinded and grind the stupid repair bearings flush with the axle tubes so we could remove the c clips again. Then drive those POS bearings out...

NEVER....I repeat NEVER use those POS repair bearings. Bite the bullet and get new axles.
