(loud banging will driving on our nice streets) bearing is wobbly, so seal/bearing/retainer...will need to be pressed in at the local shop.... now that I am on blocks.... but i am not too clear on pulling what is left in the axle tube: the race and behind it the seal! So if i yank the seal..... w a seal puller, i am sure that it will end in a mangle piece of donut w the race still intact. Also, the diff fluid is burnt.... less than 2000 miles on fluid... I guess speed lube did not use the right fluid last spring.... cheers Michel _________________________________________________________________ Get in touch in an instant.
