Axle bearings. Axle shaft bearing. Bearings. Output shaft bearing.

Is it possible to access this bearing number 27 on this diagram: https://www.gmpartsdepot.ca/a/Chevrolet__Trailblazer/52346987__6378559/FRONT-AXLE-DIFFERENTIAL-DRIVE-AXLES/T014090.html

From the outside along with the seal?

Or is this an internal bearing and differential must be taken off?

Hello, I am Danny.

That bearing is internally mounted inside the case. Differential must be taken out and split open to access. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any further questions.Thanks for using 2CarPros.
