    D y i wheel rear bearings & seals

    Hi all sorry for the delay ive had to return to the coast & havnt had time to start with the run down on how ive done the job. Im assuming that every one knows how to remove the calipers & that they should be supported & not just left to hang via the brake line. If i miss something or dont explain something right just ask. Im going to do this bit by bit not just one long story & hopefully ill work out how to add the pics so stay tuned

    D y i wheel rear bearings & seals

    As i said before i assume everyone knows how to remove the brake caliper & support the caliper so i does not hang from the brake line & remove the disc

    Then remove the bolt that holds in the A B S pick up & remove it from the housing im a big fan of put the bolt that i removed back into the bolt hole so that it wont get lost or damaged to the bolt or thread
    Then remove the 6 nuts that hold the axle bearing housing to the diff housing DONT USE THE PALM OF YOUR HAND TO HIT THE SPANNER TO LOOSEN THE NUTS use a nylon hammer
    Then tap the with a nylon or copper hammer & the axle should slide out

    D y i wheel rear bearings & seals

    Im doing this repair on my property so i dont have a shed or work bench at this stage so im just using my car trailer as a work bench. Stand the axle on your bench & to remove the A B S stator i use a heat gun & heat the stator & then using a pair of tyre levers under the stator from each side just lever it up there is no need to use a hammer it will be tight just take your time
    To remove the axle nut flatten out the tab washer that stops the nut from undoing if it gets loose i have made up a long tube spanner out of a 36mm tube socket. (Made by S P TOOLS) welded to a pipe that slides over the axle & i have welde an old socket to the top (ive used an old 3/4 drive socket but a 1/2 drive will work) then heat the nut with the heat gun again while the axle is laying on its side & undo it again it will be tight nut it will come undone with the right amount of heat to help. To help Break the seal of the nut you can use a copper drift to hit the nut on different sides then undo it. Using the socket. Then on thewheel side remove the 3 phillip head screws holding the backing plate on & just slide it out.
