Raise and safely support the vehicle. Remove the wheel and tire assembly and remove the brake drum or brake rotor. Clean all dirt from the area of the carrier cover. Drain the axle lubricant by removing the housing cover. Remove the differential pinion shaft lock bolt and differential pinion shaft. Push the flanged end of axle shafts toward the center of the vehicle and remove the C-lock from the button end of the axle shaft. Remove the axle shaft from the housing, being careful not to damage the anti-lock brake sensor ring, if equipped. Insert wheel bearing and seal replacer tool T85L–1225–AH or equivalent, in the bore and position it behind the bearing so the tangs on the tool engage the bearing outer race. Remove the bearing and seal as a unit using an impact slide hammer. Hope this helps.
