WH 753 Axle Needlebearings

[mattd860 162]

The left side needle bearing right behind the axle seal is noisy on my 753. It is possible to replace it without taking apart the transmission? I would like to do it when I replace the axle seals.

You lucked out though Matt.    Being on the left side, you just have to split the trans and take that half of the case off...do not have to take any of the gears out.

 

Bearing is Torrington # B-1616.
