Title: Rear dana 60 inner bearing help
Post by: Eric04 on May 16, 2011, 10:09:23 PM
Well the bearing was in pretty bad shape so i replaced it..now looks like the only way for it to go back on is using a press.This would require me to pull the whole axle out form under the jeep and taking it to be done.Anyway i can get the inner passenger side bearing onto the spindle without using a press?
Axle is a 75 gmc dana 60

thanks,
Eric

warm the housing up with a torch,
but first put the bearing in the freezer for
about 2-3 hours.

small ball peen hammer and a light touch may do it.
