Right answer. Rear axle and rear wheel bearings are the one thing I take to a shop. Let them deal with it with an enormous press. I always hear about what a PITA it was from them and smile on the inside. On reassembly, use anti-seize and the axle will come out of the upright with ease next time.
Is your hub cracked?

No idea. These are off the auction car. Shop is gonna pop em out, I'm going to dremel off some threads and run em. Its not like on my truck where the axle holds the wheel on.

Welcome to the world of wrecked cars.
So, that cast part is actually cracked eh? Wow.
You can see all the way through the diff right, looking in through the axle holes? I can't remember what mine looks like, got it back from the diff shop yesterday and still can't remember what it looks like

<p>I too have an unbroken diff housing. I dont want to deal with pinion nut stuff though. I'm not horribly worried about it. Worst case scenario is loss of power? Its not brakes or anything.</p>

Swapping the aluminum housings is easy peasy. Swapping the iron housing is messed up.
Also: that's weird, I look into my axle holes and it's a hole straight through clear as day.
