Post #4 nails it for me. I made the decision to pull the rear ale in my car because of wear on the axle hub bearing surface and a broken key way on one axle. I plan to replace bearings, races and seals. While I have the Axle out, I also plan to replace seals in the transmission and service the rear spring. Not much fun to drive the car in the SC heat anyway, so it’s a good time to get this work done ahead of the fall day trips with the local club.
