This morning I disassembled the junk rear axle from my parts truck as training for doing the seals on the real deal, which is going to have to be done soon. I made a video.

It might be worth pointing out that I got the bearing off without a press. I'm hoping that when I do the real deal, I can get that bearing off the same way. When I put on the new bearing, I'm going to put the shaft in the chest freezer first, and have the bearing hot. That should make it slip over the shaft easier.

 

Today I put the good axle back together.
