Anybody know the difference between them?
Quadratec is $59.99 and all the other sites that are "OEM" are running around the $140 to $160. Quadratec's says "kit" so it sounds like both sides and not one.

Ok, I just called my local dealer, and they said they could have it tomorrow for "only" $174!
I have never actually done the bearing pull and install myself. I have pulled lots of diff's and even a ring and pinion once, but had somebody else pull and press the bearings.
Do I really need both if I am only pulling one off?
My front locker is not working and I am doing the Elocker fix by shimming it with notched Dana 60 shims, which requires pulling one side. I assume I can just do the one side? That would leave me other one to sell so someone doing the same fix! Or I could buy someone's spare if anyone as one?
