The owners manual says "The 1/2 ton semi-floating axle has the wheel bolted directly to the axle flange, the bearing is in the outer end of the axle housing and rides on a special race on the axle shaft just back of the axle flange." Are these axle bearings easily accessible or is this something I should avoid until I have a problem? Are rear axle bearing problems common? Thanks!
