I am of the opinion "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Re: Squeal on drivers side rear wheel, options .
If you haven't done so, download the manuals from the stickies:
Links: Owner's, Parts, and Service Manuals: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...g-manuals.html Dana Axle: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...5-28148g01.pdf Been a while since I did mine, but I replaced all bearings and seals in my differential and motor. It's been a while since I did mine, but the only one that took more than a few seconds to replace was the motor bearing, since it requires heating. Service manual has step by step instructions and Parts manual has exploded diagrams with part numbers. You may not find an exact manual, as far as year, but most parts on a newer model TXT will be the same as an older TXT. Steering is the main thing that changed from older models to the newer ones. As to where, you can either buy bearings locally or online. Click on Site Sponsors. I got mine from shopezgo.com, who's not known to be the cheapest, but I wanted to do the whole build in one afternoon, and didn't want to spend a few hours chasing down all bearings, seals, and freeze plugs at different sites. I place a price on my time. |

I made mine harder than it should've been. I can't speak for the txt, only the rxv. The axle half is held in by a retaining clip. Then pull the axle out, I used a slide hammer. Press the old bearing off, press the new one on. I went to a transmission shop and they pressed it for me. Took 5 minutes and was free. Put back together and done. RXV=no brake drums.

Re: Squeal on drivers side rear wheel, options .
If I recall, I made a slide hammer using threaded rod and a socket. "Pressing" was carefully done using a plastic hammer. The only trick to doing it this way is to go slow and make sure it goes in evenly, and doesn't go sideways.
