<div>Adam,</div><div>Where were you back in 07/13/2015? Asked the same question and got the same answer, no only from Jim but from Bob as well. I honestly don't see where the difficult part lies but better safe than sorry. And it's not just them, is basically everybody agreeing on it. I mean, about the most difficult mechanical feat I've been able to accomplish is swapping a V-8 w/tranny from a '77 Monte Carlo to a '73 Malibu station wagon. I guess that's like a walk in park compared to this. Who wants to buy a pair of rear wheel bearings for a '65 Squareback? I'm kidding, I'm keeping them until I really need them.<br>

Subject: [T3] Rear Bearings </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" style="font-size:13px"><br>
<br>
My rear bearings on the passenger side are a little squeaky. Because of<br>
this, I bought a new seal kit and set of bearings to replace BOTH sides.<br>
Before I do the job, I had a couple of questions.<br>
<br>
1. Will a bearing puller be necessary? They show one in the brown Bentley,<br>
but I didn't know if it was a necessity.<br>
<br>
2. The Bentley says nothing about packing the bearings on install. Am I to<br>
assume that these bearings are lubricated by the 80*/90 in the gear box?<br>
<br>
3. Any pointers going in that anyone would recommend?<br>
<br>
This will be my first time messing with a swing axle car. I have had one in<br>
the past, but I never had any issues with the rear. I just wanted to get<br>
some direction before I got started.<br>
<br>
