Which differential bearings? Pinion bearing? Carrier bearings? End axle bearings?
To replace the rear axle pinion bearing on an '84 GMC Vandura, first, safely lift and support the vehicle, then remove the driveshaft and any rear axle cover. Next, remove the pinion nut and yoke to access the pinion gear. Carefully pull out the pinion assembly, replace the old bearing with a new one, and reassemble by reversing the steps, ensuring proper torque on the pinion nut and checking the bearing preload. Always consult a repair manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
To change the rear pinion bearing on a 1997 GMC Jimmy, start by safely lifting and securing the vehicle. Remove the driveshaft by unbolting it from the rear differential and marking its position for reinstallation. Next, remove the differential cover and drain the fluid, then take out the axle shafts if necessary. Finally, unbolt the pinion flange, remove the old bearing and race, install the new bearing with the appropriate preload, and reassemble everything in reverse order, ensuring proper torque specifications are followed.

Preload is the amount the pinion bearings are squeezed together by the pinion nut.
To change the rear differential pinion seal on a 2003 Ford F-150, first, safely lift and support the vehicle, then remove the driveshaft by unbolting it from the rear differential. Next, remove the pinion nut and washer, and use a puller to take off the pinion yoke. Replace the old seal with a new one, ensuring it is properly seated, then reassemble by reversing the steps, making sure to torque the pinion nut to the manufacturer’s specifications and refill the differential with the appropriate lubricant.

Rear differential in a rear wheel drive vehicle
To change the ring and pinion gears and bearings on a 1997 Z71, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the rear differential cover to drain the fluid. Then, remove the differential carrier and unbolt the ring gear from the carrier. Replace the old bearings and pinion gear with new ones, ensuring proper alignment and spacing, and reassemble the differential with a new gasket and fluid. Finally, check the backlash and gear pattern to ensure proper installation before reattaching the differential cover.
What is the torque specs on a 2001 ford truck rear end pinion nut..
It could be axle bearings, however it is more likely a pinion or carrier bearing since you say the noise seems to be coming from the differential housing. With the vehicle up on a lift around 45 mph, use a mechanic's stethoscope to help pinpoint the noise. You should be able to at least determine if is coming from the axle bearing or the differential, sometimes you can tell if it is a pinion bearing (noise more pronounced near the driveshaft) or if is a carrier bearing (more pronounced near the rear cover).
