What is a full floating axle?
In a full-floating axle, the axle bearing is placed on the outside of the axle housing. This places all the vehicle weight on the axle housing and none on the axle itself. This is important for the front axle which is generally a short shaft. In the semi-floating axle, the axle bearing is placed in the axle housing and the axle carries some of the load of the vehicle. The main advantage of the semi-floating is that it is simpler (i.e. cheaper). Courtesey of: http://www.m38a1.ca/axles.html Sourced by: Paul Henderson, Donegal, Ireland.

Be sure the seal is not damage by the splines on the axle shaft. # Remove the bearing and oil seal from the housing. Both the seal and bearing can be removed with a slide hammer. # Two types of bearings are used on some axles, one requiring a press fit and the other a loose fit. A loose fitting bearing does not necessary indicate excessive wear. # Inspect the axle shaft housing and axle shafts for burrs or other irregularities. Replace any work or damage parts. A light yellow color on the bearing journal of the axle shaft is normal, and does not require replacement of the axle shaft. Slight pitting and wear is also normal. # Lightly coat the wheel bearing rollers with axle lubricant.
