I want to inspect the rear wheel bearings on my 99 XJ 4x4 (it makes a faint grumbly sound from the drivers rear side when coasting). I pulled the wheels, drums and rear diff cover. While trying to remove the retaining bolt for the center pinion shaft the retaining bolt does not have enough clearance in the interior of the housing to get clear of the center pinion shaft so that I can drop it to push in the axles and remove the clips.
Argh - any pointers? This seems really odd that the retaining bolt would not have enough clearance to free the center pinion shaft. I am more likely to believe that I am missing something obvious.
Thanks all,
