Because your transmission is already open and all apart it is best to Replace all the bearings, there is a page in the manual which tells you which parts should be Replaced upon rebuild...
If you would like to change your differential this would be the time to do so.
Tools Required:
3/8" rachet
3/8" Extension/s
3/8" 10mm Socket
3/8" 12mm Socket
5mm Pin punch
Bearing Puller
Philips Screw Driver
