should be replaced. Normal bearing contact on shaft should be a dull gray and may appear lightly dented.
5. Remove axle shaft bearing and seal from axle housing using tools C-4167 and C-637 on all models except 1984-87 9-1/4 inch HD axle, or tool
C-4828 on 1984-87 9-1/4 inch HD axle. If bearing shows no sign of excessive wear or damage, it can be reused along with a new seal. Never reuse
an axle shaft seal. Remove any burrs that may be present in housing bearing shoulder, as bearing could become cocked during installation.
