right front axle bearing.

[twiford]

Hi,i have a 01 explorer sport 4x4 when i replaced my passenger side cv axle i notice some of the little roller bearing fell out of the bearing that the cv axle rides on can that bearing be replaced without removing the differential if so how?

 

[FIND]

The bearing on the output of your differential?

I think so it's right behind the differential seal where the passenger cv axle slide's into the differential tube.

It is possible. You just need a slide hammer and attachments for pulling bearings and seals, and then it would be good to have a seal and bearing installation kit to put everything back together. If you don't have them, most auto parts stores have a tool rental program.

Is the national s-268 the right bearing?

 

[FIND]

I forgot they did that with later axles. I believe passenger is 5707... Best just to pull the bearing out and measure it. Knock the old seal back in temporarily to prevent any spilling.

 

[twiford]

And thats the one for the front passenger side?

 

[FIND]

I believe. Pull out your old bearing and measure its diameter. If it is 2.5", then it is the one I gave you. 2" and it is the one you gave.

Ok thank's guy's for your reply's.

What puller to use a rear axle bearing puller or blind hole puller.

I’m having a sort of issue like this , that bearing being messed would cause my axle to move up and down on that location right and oil to seep out ? ?
