I can take most fluid out with a suction bulb....
I REALLY want to replace that bearing!! I know it may be a dirty job, but if you heard my bearing, you would probably do the same thing. It sounds very much like someone is crushing rocks in the SC.
So I am guessing that to take the snout off, you have to first remove the pulley, then all the snout retaining bolts, then it should pull off the front right? Press out the old bearing and press on the new one and install the new #7968 viton Chicago Rawhide seal and I reassemble and seal the snout and that should be it right?
