10 bolt axle bearing replacement.....

[Bowtie85]

well i started swapping 10 bolts in my k5 today. I am using 30 spline 10 bolts from a 90 sub i bought for parts.

I knew a axle seal was leaking, went to change it. It turns out some one put a repair sleeve bearing on it. Any who I got a new one for it. What is the easiest way to get that out of the axle housing? Every parts store I went to didnt have any bearing pullers. The only thing I found was a pilot bearing puller but I dont think that will work.

My question is whats the easiest way/ tool required to change this bearing?

Thanks.

it appears I need a slide hammer with a bearing puller attachment.

something like that?
