thanks Dave, I was wondering if the rear bearings had to be pressed off.
apparently not.


BTW, the other day I thought my upper control arm bushings were bad.  I
tightened up the nut at the front bushing(about 10 turns!) and the excessive
play disappeared.  Good thing too, they cost 76 each at my dealer, and 30
each from wolfsport.  I think it was Ron that had the best price at 25 each.
I will buy them when they go bad, but fortunately not now.
