a new rear wheel bearing is needed.
i have done one before and recall the old one was very difficult to remove and i damaged the threaded end of the driveshaft trying to remove it..
are they always so hard to remove or do they also come off pretty easy.
from what i remember i pounded the end if the driveshaft to "shock" it off.
also..any tips for removal

thanks dell but neither of those show an AWD car.
im really looking for info about how to get the driveshaft/halfshaft out of the splined hole or more specifically...does it EVER come off without major force.
pullers are only good if you have the right one for the job. with a million styles and sizes..unlikely, and i know from last time.none that i have fit

or maybe i ended up using a puller and dont remember....all i remember is it took longer than it should and i ruined the threads on the shaft trying to shock it off

that actually rings a bell, maybe thats how we finally did it.
before i take it apart ill take the new hub
to store and look for a good puller.
