I think I like it.Markos said:Great writeup!
FYI, you were very close to making life easy when you stuck that socket on the end of the unit-bearing bolt. Check this out:
Just turn the wheel and pop it off. You can that Stu Olson for that tip.

Deserves becoming a STICKY!!
its not so much that i wanted to keep it local, its just that stuff gets lost in the national forums to easily, and nobody seems to care. ive seen some great writeups in the past and they just go away without a second glance. i think it discourages more people from doing them... i mean whats the point, the post is going to be buried in a day anyway. and its a pain searching for this stuff because so many questions get asked about the same subjects that it takes an hour to find what you are looking for. thats the only reason i suggested maybe a local forum, where there are less posts, would be a good idea since the national BOD seemed like they didnt want to deal with it. :dunno: anyways, without getting into politics too much i just wanted it to be easy to find the writeups, thats alltigerShark said:awesome write-up man but why do you want to keep this great tech for your local boys. us east coasters love to read this stuff too.

no RTV, but some people use it. the RTV you see in the pics is from the factory pressing the axle tubes into the housing.the seals are a pain to get seated all the way. you will know they are in all the way when they are sitting flush with the axle tubes. you really need to pound on em to get them in, as long as you are using a 36mm socket like i did you dont have to worry about ruining them. dont try to do it alone, you need one person lining up the bar on the socket to make sure the seal goes in even, and one person hitting the end of the bar.Leica99XJ said:Thanks for this, I was going to have this job done by a mechanic but thanks to your write up, I think I'll take a stab at it. The only thing I'm really worried about is getting the seals in right. I don't want to have to go back in there because I didn't seat the seals properly......Any more tips on the seals? Did you use any RTV, and if so, how did you apply it?
