Talking rear bearings are replaced!

1. Finished the job, it took 16 hours with 90% of the right tools.

2. Some of the things I remember that was worth mentioning are as follows:

. a. If you doing the passenger side (US model) to get the axle out, you must remove the exhaust (I wonder what those people still with the original exhaust system are going to do, it’s a one piece and must be cut!)
. b. The 6 bolts that holds the axle to the differential box has changed the old are in-hex and new are TORX bolts remember to get both tools to R/R.
. c. For R/R of the bearing holding ring make sure you got a big enough “inside circlip pliers” the ring is a big one and needs extra power to squeeze it close, mine was a 9’ and I still needed two pipes to make it longer for extra leverage.
