14 bolt SEMI FLOAT outer axle bearings

Has anyone replaced the bearings in a semi float rear axle?

Special tools required?

Re: 14 bolt SEMI FLOAT outer axle bearings

i changed mine out...i made a tool that would hook the bearing from the back side and had to drive it out from the opposite side..never could get a puller to catch the bearing race
they make and sell some special pullers for doing those

Maybe this would work?

Installing the bearing and seal is just a matter of tapping it in?

Plus a good 5 lb slide hammer.

Bushing/Race driver set comes in handy for driving the bearing back in.
