Ok - I was asking because I know the 4 ratio is 3.06 and the 3.2 ratio is 3.27, didn't know if the bearing would be slightly different too. I'm hoping to get the output bearings out of a 3.06 ratio and put them in my 3.27 ratio.

The stub axle and bearing will just slide out if you can remove the retaining circlip. This is a lot trickier then in sounds as access is very obstructed.

If the clip is frozen in place, swapping the aluminum bearing housings will not work. On the 14hu the housing holds the diff bearings and adjusts bearing preload and carrier position. The differential would most likely have to be re set up if the bearing housings were swapped.

**EDIT**

Holy heck, i did not realise the price of that bearing has skyrocketed. I bought a pair a few years ago for less then $230 US and just installed. If i know that was 700-800 worth of bearing i would have sold them off!
