Front Differential

[FlipZ71]

2015 Silverado... 

Anyone remove driver side output shaft from front diff ? 

  Looking at the parts breakdown it doesn't show a locknut...  

Also doesn't list the bearing for sale...(figures).... 

Curious if anyone has any info on it before I talk to the stealers ..

  I noticed today mine has alot of play...  either bearing is bad or the shaft is loose... 

  I noticed it after checking the lower ball joints....  which a big suprise , worn out pretty bad ...  truck drives straight n smooth , noticed some odd wear on the tires...  anyways getting ducks in a row for a weekend in the garage....  

  Any info greatly appreciated...

Download an AAM parts diagram (demandaam) and or a Spicer catalog for yokes, u-joints and driveshafts to get those numbers you need.

part number 1 the drive hub has a compression ring on the end of it. it will come out but there is two bearing behind it, one is a needle roller type bearing that the shaft rides on and the other bearing carries the end of the carrier. you can replace the needle bearing and seal but if it is the larger bearing you have to split the housing in half to remove it. let me know if you find the part number for the needle bearing i also have to do this
