well the front left bearing in differental box is making a rumble noise now and very noticble in the car and can be felt with your feet on the floor, i had the front left wheel bearing replaced thinking it was that but wasnt, untill it was off the ground, and put on stands driving the wheels we found the sound. has anyone done this before? the oil in the front diff is at correct level and fresh. not sure if its a big task?
 






Oh mate, you are having bad luck!
As far as I know its a drian fluid job and take out the oil seal and bearing and press fit the new bearing, a lot of time on your back!!!!!!
