Working on my 92 Dodge Dakota

[MRX37]

That video likely doesn't apply. Chrysler redesigned the Dakota for the 97 model year, and in any case the RAM is a different beast all together.

If I gotta have a new bearing pressed on then it's got to go to the mechanic. I assume the gear oil is coming from the rear differential, so my plan is to keep that topped off and wait until i can afford another trip to the mechanic.

And funny thing is either I've missed it or my haynes manual says nothing about the rear axle.
