A few days ago the right rear wheel seal went out on the 1009 oil slung all over so today was fix it day. I decided since the cover was off the differential I would replace both sides so I didnt end up doing the other one down the road. After pulling the old seals I checked the bearings and figured what the hay Its apart so replace them I got the bearings and seals from NAPA and made sure the bearings were made in the USA part #R1559-TV and wheel seals part #16404. The bearings are a bear to get out so I bought a slide hammer type puller and finally got them out you will need a 1 7/8 inch socket to drive the bearings and seals into the axle tube when assembling it back together. Now back out to refill the differential and take it for a test drive I replaced the bolt that holds the pin in to keep the axles tight against the C clips too its the first one I ever took out that was not cracked off inside the pin.
