I have a 98 Z71, and the bearings are starting to make noise... ive researched how to fix, but feel that maybe axle shafts are grooved now... any tips on how to get outer bearing out w/o a slap hammer? thanx in advance
 
just go to autozone and rent a slide hammer with the attahcments. could weld a bolt to it and beat it out with long pipe after pulling carrier. or use bolt to pull on but the slide hammer works much easier and better.

you probably do need a shaft, the shaft should not have any groove in it if there is a dip in the shaft where the bearing rides that is not normal.
