    Would there be any problem replacing the axle after the bushing install? I had the bushing installed a few months ago but today I see that the outer boot is starting to leak and sling some grease. I want to replace it but was wondering if the bushing would cause the axle to get stuck or bind up more so trying to pull it out rather than the stock needle bearing?

    Anyone remove them after the bushing, and if so is it any easier or harder?

    Removing the axle is about the same after the ecgs bushing. You probably won’t notice a difference.
