Need to replace bearings and seals on my 1977 FJ40 rear axles. First time doing this. Based on the info in another thread it appears I have a semi-float rear axle as the hub is pretty much flush with the rim (see pic below).
Shopping for a rebuild kit and noticed they all come with a diff inspection cover gasket. Question: Is it necessary to take off the diff inspection cover to get to the C clip that holds the axle in? Looked at several pics and the FSM but not 100 percent sure where the C clip is.
Thanks as always!
