Update

Have both bearings pulled and new bearings installed. I have the passenger axle rebooted and installed, wow the new boots are tight but I feel better for taking the time to do this. The smoking gun was the drivers side bearing..it was in horrible condition. A friend has a 20 ton Harbor Freight press and it made quick work of separating the flange from the bearing that came apart during the pull on both sides. The Harbor Freight bearing press and puller works like a champ if you use the right size plate, the new bearings were given a light coat of anti seize after being frozen for a week in the freezer, they pressed in slick as a button....starting to feel good about this long task.
