Hi Dexter ;
First , you must put the chassis designation in the header box _every_time_ so those who just skim , but know , will stop and read , maybe be able to offer help .
Next : which particular bearing is bad ? there's a bunch in there , if just a wheel bearing I suggest replacing both and the attendand oil seals .
If a pinion or ring gear bearing , I suggest getting another entire used rear end , re sealing it and then install , drive way happy .
Torque Tube final drives are very sturdy and long lived . if it's failing , one needs to know why before doing more than wheel bearing service to it .
I hope this helps you to proceed .
-Nate
