Wasn't sure how much detailed advice was wanted in previous posts but here's another useful tip regarding the changing of inner drivers. Before you try to remove the snap ring that holds the inner driver into the housing, stand it on a bench, slip a sleeve or pipe onto the shaft so that it contacts the snap ring and tap the pipe down with a hammer. The snap ring is usually pinched pretty tightly in it's groove because the spring at the inner end of the driver pushes outward. If you go to spread and remove the snap ring without un-pinching it, or spread it too much, you will bend it so that it's not tight on the shaft anymore and can pop off after the job is all done. People (even real mechanics) make that mistake all the time and it's not unusual to find loose fitting snap rings when you open one of these up, so check and replace them if needed. Take a good look at the little axle bearing too (it's a common unshielded 6006, their cheap). It's easy to replace while the seal is out. And replace the o'ring on the outer circumference of the housing. Cheers.
