Hi all
CV Joint Axles Or Dog Bones are the easy part of the Axle.

How about the Stub Axle or Axle Shaft that goes into the Wheel
Bearing housing and Wheel Hub. Few Years ago I pulled the Brakes and
the Wheel Hub and thick Oil that stunk dripped out of the seal on the
wheel Bearing housing.
Sorta burned grease smell.
Of course I was leaving in a few days for a Long travel. Everything
was tight and smooth so I took a syringe and filled up between the
roller bearings with Grease and put it back together.
I do know it is on Borrowed time and need to pull apart, Inspect and
or fully rebuild or swap out the whole gig.

Anyone do that!
This one seems like a bit more time. Anyone with experience with this one??
AND where do you find the Parts needed for this? Quality Parts Not
Junk since I do use my Camper for camping and do overload it.
I have done most everything on the Van but this. But there is always
something to do to it or would not be a Vanagon!

Thanks Jonce
