The bearing can only be removed by taking the diff apart. The bearing is only removable from the inside.

Rebuilding requires tools to set up the preloads, etc.

For the price of a second hand unit, I'd just buy one.

I have 10 & 24 spline diffs if required. Â£50 each + delivery (Â£25 due to the weight)
