to replace the bearing you must seperate the axle from the rear differential. Then remove the rear section of the driveshaft and then the carrier bearing assembly. Replace the carrier bearing assembly then replace the driveshaft.

Yes you can just replace the bearings but be careful. they say to replace the entire drum as the materials they are made out of is not very strong and you can distort or damage the drum when removing the bearings.

the bearings are replaceable on some motors.. its a bit of work and you might first check the cost of a replacement motor .. it might be low enough to offset the amount of labor required to replace the bearing .. around here we have a hardware store that has a stock of most common replacement bearings ... some motors have welded bearing cages or bent metal captures .. those are harder to deal with. a way to make at least temporary repairs of such bearings involves punching the bearing to expand it , then re-drilling the bore to the correct size .. you might be able to force grease in the bearing for now to give you a little more time .. as it is it will eventually damage the motor shaft such that bearing replacement will not be reasonable ..

The bearings are not serviced, just the whole unit, but if you remove them a bearing supply can match them up.

Bearings can be replaced without replacing the drum.

rear bearing is pressed into outer drum never changed bearing only usually requires entire drum replacement instead..also shaft on rear of inner basket is probably scored bad and needs replacement too
