Hi Larry, From my initial answer to the question, you can probably tell that I didn't have the tools nor the expert advice, and farmed my own torque tube out for the bearing replacement. I've always been under the impression that the final placement of the zerk assured that the bearing would remain in correct alignment. Can you please explain that point further?
