rear axle removal

[fjm9898]

I know removing an axle should just be pulling it out but i have never done it on the rear end pulling it out of the diff. Same thing? pry bar and beat it till it works free?

Just a c clip holding it in? put it back in by beating it back in there?

You'll have to work it free from the knuckle first. Remove the various control arms and the strut and you should have enough room to wiggle it out. I recommend spraying some good penetrating oil into the splines of the axle and praying that it isn't seized in the hub.

Afterwards, you can pry the cup loose from the differential.
