Great post LEEPER. I just wanted to put a link on here, again its for a Civic, but is has pictures and shows just how simple it is to replace that bearing after you get the transmission apart.

Man, if you can do it in 45 mins, why does a fully stocked auto shop want 2 hours, each way? Also, if you can do the job in 4 hours, that is really good. The only thing that scares me about the job is getting those axles out. I might just have to rent an impact wrench, like you would use doing home construction, except the air wrenches are so much stronger.
