hello, i am installing new rear axle bearings today in my 8.25. i did the drivers side first and everything went as planned.however when i got to the passengers side the old bearing came out very easy and from the video i posted the new one just slides right in with no pressing and i can spin the whole bearing in the housing.when i bought this jeep it had a bent axle on the passenger side from previous owner sliding in ice down a hill a that wheel stopped the jeep on a curb bending it.i had a mechanic friend of mine put in a used axle shaft and new bearing at the same time.there is no metal shaving like the bearing spinning make the hole any bigger?
what are my options?should i just install as is or maybe a little jb weld to keep bearing from spinning?
