Dear Jimmy,
This repair is an intrusive repair if you have never done it.A chilton's manual can be purchased at your local auto parts store for $20 for your vehicle. Jack up the rear of vehicle and support it.Remove the rear tires.If the vehicle came with disc brakes remove the caliper and bridge, if not then remove the brake drum.Remove the rear diff cover, with a drain pan to catch the fluid.Remove your rear pinch thru bolt, your pin will then slide thru.Push both axles in to release and remove the u clips on the inside of the carrier assy, then pull both axles out.Remove the outer axle seal, throw away, ten using a bearing puller tool remove the bearing from the axle tube, install new bearing ad seal with drivers and reinstall axles.any other questions get back to me...I'm here to help!!!

SOURCE: My 99 GMC Jimmy has the service 4X4 light on and

look on the top of the front axle there are some wires that attach to it. unclip these wires and remove the plunger look to see if the little ball in the end is stuck or screwed.

How do I remove the rear pinion shaft from a 1998 GMC Jimmy 4x4 to replace the bearing ?

you will have to remove the axles first ,then the crown wheel then the pinion flange and pull the pinion shaft out past where the crown wheel was . From the fact that you had to as how to do and that setting up a diff is not just a matter of changing a bearing I strongly recommend to you that you have this job done by an accredited transmission shop as failure to properly reassemble and adjust the settings will cost you a large amount of money

99 jimmy vibrating when i drive it. u joint? how to tell which one

You will have to get under the vehicle, and grab the drive shaft at each u-joint. Grab the first one, and move it up, down, and side to side to look for any play. Also pay attention to missing pieces, and missing clips that hold the u-joint in.

Another thing to check is your wheel bearings. Jack the rear up, and grab each tire at 3o'Clock and 9o'clock first, and then 12o'clock and 6o'clock. Wiggle/shake it looking for play. Do the front tires the same way. You should find it.

Most common reasons for vibrations

Uneven tire wear (alignment)
Unbalanced tires
Universal joints
bearings
drivetrain

How do I remove the front hub/wheel assembly? Hi there; I am attempting to replace the wheel bearing/ABS sensor assy on the front left of my 2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500 (*4-Wheel Drive*). So far, I have...

They are fitted very securely into the axle. It will come out as it is just splined onto the output shaft. The secret is equal pressure to the rear of the hub. Because of the close tolerances, it cant just be pulled from one spot on the hub as that jams the opposite side. Tap around the rear of the hub with a hammer in a circular pattern or use a 3 jaw puller to exert equal pressure.

I see a red flag here. If they don't look the same, they may have different gear ratios. This is critical in a 4 wheel drive. Front and rear gears have to match

I believe the wheel bearing is bad. Can I change

Use a slide hammer, bearing puller and adapter to remove the old axle bearing.

special tools are required if the bearings are also to be serviced.

I would say if you don't have the tools and the time, I would take it to a garage.

I have a knocking sound when I am driving my 99 GMC jimmy on the rear drivr side. But there is also a strong smelling liquid leaking into the tire well while driving, what may be the problem and can I fix...

The only liquids it could be are brake fluid and gear oil from your rear end. If there is knocking too, i would guess it to be a wheel bearing and seal are gone. The only way to find out is to pull the wheel and inspect it. As far as fixing it yourself, i don't know what you can do, but if the seal is gone, you have to take the cover off your rear end, and pull the axle.
