02 trailblazer 4.2 4x4 217,000 mi. Recently purchased and while replacing fluids noticed the shaft seal on front left cv axle had failed. While in the process of installing the new seal I noticed a very unwelcome bit of twisted shaving. Further investigating revealed about half a dozen very small broken metal pieces that previously were part of the inner ring of the deeper set cv shaft roller bearing (inside the diff). The larger diameter bearing, closer to the outside seems just fine, but the deeper bearing behind looks ok but is apparently seized. Nothing appears unevenly worn and all rollers are still in place around the circumference of the bearing. All the gear surfaces I can see are really in excellent condition. Did I break this bearing while removing the cv shaft? How should I proceed?
Do also have the name/description of the parts that correlate to the numbers on the diagram? The bearing that seems seized would be №36 I believe, possibly №37
