Need to know if 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive for the front. Either way, there is no nut on the back axles.
It would be recommended to replace the rear axle bearings and axles when they are worn/bad. If the bearings and axles are okay, just replace the seals.
One way to reduce friction on axles is to lubricate them with oil or grease. Regular maintenance to ensure proper alignment and that the axles are not worn or damaged can also help reduce friction. Additionally, using higher quality bearings or upgrading to ceramic bearings can further minimize friction.
No. Skateboards and inline skates all have cartridge bearings, while a lot of bikes have cup & cone bearings. For those bikes that do have cartridge bearings, their axles are thicker than skateboards/skates.
To reduce the friction of axles rotating in the chassis, you can use lubrication such as oil or grease on the axles. You can also ensure that the axles are aligned properly and that there is minimal interference between the axles and the chassis. Additionally, using high-quality bearings can help reduce friction as well.
To remove the outer bearings on Kubota 900 rear axles, start by safely lifting and securing the tractor. Remove the wheel and brake assembly to access the axle housing. Use a bearing puller or a suitable tool to gently extract the outer bearings from their seats, ensuring not to damage the axle or housing. Clean the area thoroughly before installing new bearings.
Yes. The bearings are what allows the wheels to mount up firmly but yet spin freely on the axles/trucks.
Yes, the wheel bearings or CV joint could be bad.

Because they're a good way to reduce friction and help wheels and axles to spin smoothly and effortlessly.
I will offer some info. Maybe not 100% accurate. I have had rear wheel bearings replaced on other vehicles. My wife drives a Lincoln LS now. She needs some work done on the rear end along the lines of wheel bearings. When I had my wheel bearings replaced. They had to pul the housing off the rear end. They had to pull the rear axles and drain all the fluids. There were shavings in the fluids. The first time. The dealer did all that and replaced my wheel bearings. New fluid in. One year later. The rear end was going out again. I took it to my mecanic. He told me the dealer should have pulled the axles and replced the bearings as there was still shavings in those bearings. So, he replaced the bearings and I never ever had bearing problems again. If they do not replace the bearings. You wil still have shavings in the axles bearings. I should have known the dealer would not do it right. You would think they would. But no. They did not. That is my story and I am sticking with it. Bill in Edmond Oklahoma
You can reduce friction by ensuring the axles are properly lubricated with a low-friction lubricant, such as graphite or silicone-based oils. Additionally, make sure the axles are aligned properly and that there is minimal contact between the axle and the chassis. Lastly, consider using polished axles or adding wheel bearings to reduce friction further.
There are two axles bearings on the rear of your Dodge Ram 1500, one for each rear wheel. They would be found at the outside ends of the axle housing.
