front differential bearings and seals, 4x4
Same as doing the rear? Not the hub bearing, already did those. My passenger seal is leaking. I tried to get the cv axle off but it seems rusted on. Is the front axle held in like the rear, with c clips. Can the cv axle and axle come out as one unit so i don't have to buy a new cv and deal with it.

I know this thread is over a month old, but I have been doing a lot of research on this since I'm in the same boat for the driver side. I have included a few helpful resources I have found to help you out if not already swapped. I'm curious to know if you found two different bearings on the front differential if you ended up replacing those too. Apparently on some models, a needle bearing is used on the driver side front differential, and a true bearing ring is used on the passenger side front differential. Depending on who you order them from, they will claim they are the same. Most likely you could use the needle bearing on the passenger side, but I would use the bearing ring the driver side if there more force from the short tube (higher moment).
I'm holding out since they are a b*%^$ to replace.
