I love this: "a rear axle bearing went bad on the yellow car, so they changed the whole housing with one from a junkyard along side the road..."
Some of us older guys remember how common this kind of repair was. You could go down to the local wrecking yard and buy an entire rear axle for $100. No chit. That was the going rate. So, if you didn't have all the tools necessary to work on a rear axle, who cared? Just swap that one out.
