So, does anyone have experience with removing the rear wheel bearings? As many of you know, the rear axles on GTO's are non-C Clip. So, the axles just pull out, after you have the back plates unbolted. It seems that my bearings are stuck on the axles. Is this normal? Any ideas of how to remove them?
You can remove the axle from the differential carrier by putting the brake drum on backwards and installing a couple of lug nuts, leaving slop. You use the drum as a slide hammer. Always works for me. When out, yes, it's machine shop time to press off, and press on the bearing.
The local parts place here wanted $25.00 to remove and replace them, plus the price of the bearings. Total for both was around $150.00 I think....
