A packaged bearing assembly for a full floating axle fits on the end of an axle tube where it serves to couple a road wheel to the axle. The bearing assembly includes a housing having external formations for mounting brake components. It also has a hub provided with a drive flange located beyond the outboard end of the housing and a spindle that projects into the housing. Finally, the bearing assembly also has an antifriction bearing located within the housing and around the spindle of the hub to enable the hub to rotate relative to the housing and axle tube. The drive flange of the hub provides a mounting for a road wheel. An axle shaft extends through the axle tube and through the hub and is removably connected to the hub, so that it can be withdrawn without elevating the road wheel off of its supporting surface.
