How to replace the rear axle wheel bearing and wheel seal on Buick Rainier?

The initial step to replace either the rear Axle Shaft seal or bearing starts with vehicle elevation and subsequent removal of tires and wheels. Begin by disconnecting the rear axle housing cover together with its gasket then proceed to remove the Axle Shaft. The tools required to extract the axle housing seal include rear axle seal and bearing remover (J 44685) and slide hammer (J 02619-1). The bearing installer (J 23690) combined with a universal driver handle (J 8092) should be used for bearing installation into the axle housing until the tool contacts the tube. Drive the Axle Shaft seal into the bore using the axle pinion oil seal installer (J 21128) until it reaches tube flush position. Place the Axle Shaft inside and follow with the gasketed rear axle housing cover before reinstalling the tire-wheel assembly and lubricate the axle before lowering the vehicle.
