Removed the Rear Axles

Since I'm unable to drive the Mustang due to the water pump, I decided I would go ahead and remove the rear axles to replace the wheel bearings. The passenger side wheel bearing has been squeaking for a little while. It is easy to ignore as I can hardly hear it unless the passenger window is down and I'm either driving slow or by a concrete barrier wall.

The axles did not take long to remove. I removed the passenger side one last night and the driver side tonight. It is very obvious the passenger side bearing is bad. I can spin it almost completely around and the axle would wiggle up and down slightly in the housing. The driver side is in much better condition but I plan to replace both.
