Ok, I have an axle seal leak on my 8.25. Since I will have to pull the axle, and since the seal is shot and I probably have some dust in the axle tube now, I am planning on changing the bearing as well.
First, is there only one axle seal in the 8.25?
Secondly, will the bearing be pressed on to the axle shaft, or into the housing? If it is in the housing, will a regular bearing driver with about an 8" handle be enough, or is the bearing set further into the tube than that? Will I need to use a long piece of pipe as a driver instead of the bearing driver? I just want to make sure I have everything I need before I start this job.
Lastly, how hard is it to pop the c-clip off the axle shaft?
I've done a search on 8.25's and bearings, and I didn't find much information. I hope you guys can help me with this. Thanks,
Geoff
