It lists two axle assemblies, one with inboard housing and one without. The one with housing has a pic showing a splined shaft on each end. The one without the housing has a spline on only one end and a joint bearing on the other. How easy is it to mount that bearing back into the inner component, or should I just get the one with the inner housing?

For some reason they are $79 without the housing, but it's only $59 for the one with the inboard housing.

(I think maybe that's what you meant by an inner and outer piece?)

Still confused...
