I have a rear axle seal leak on my 98 Expedition 5.4.
I purchase new seals, thinking I would pop the old seal out and replace with a new seal.
Turns out I have repair bearings. I cannot identify them.
What is my best course of action here? Remove repair bearing and replace with new factory bearing and race and use factory seal?
I don't understand the purpose of the repair bearing to begin with.
Or replace with another repair bearing kit?
Here are pictures of the bearing and also the axle shaft for reference
