Hey all,
I did a search but couldn't find what I needed. I need to change the rear wheel bearings on my 97 Sport 2WD. Anyone have a write up on this. My Chiltions manual was absolutely no help at all? How hard is it to change rear bearings on a 2WD?
Thanks
 
Very easy. put rear on jackstands, remove wheels and brake drums. Remove diff cover, carrier cross shaft retaining pin, and cross shaft. Slide axles in slightly, and remove c clips. Remove axle shafts. Using a puller, remove bearings and seals. Re-install in reverse order, being sure to lube the seal lip.
