  • How to remove and rebuild axel bearing on a 55-64 chevy. This is on a 56 chevy, but it will be the same process on most GM cars from 55-64 and 56-62 Corvette. The only difference is the bearing will look a little different.
    Parts Needed:
    • differential carrier gasket Felpro 5188
    Tools Needed:
    • BFH I used a 5lb sledge
    • 9/16 wrench
    • Press
    • Grinder/Death Wheel
    • Big chisel
    • Drum brake tool (optional)
    Bearing for each year:
    55-56: RW507
    57: RW307
    58-64: RW607
