I can't seem to get my axles out!
I've got the bolts off on the diff and behind the drum. Went to pull the cover off the front of the diff and it only move about an inch.
I need to replace the drv sid Axle Bearing. Please Help

if its IRS I think you need to press it out after you unbolt the half-shaft from the pumpkin.
Otherwise, if its like a chevy rear end, you need to pull out the C clip.
If its like my sr5 or a LSD corolla read end, you just slide it out.
the bearing might just be REALLY stuck, get a hammer? if that dont work, get a bigger hammer?

Are you sure there aren't any c clips in there. I don't want to go and get a slide hammer and end up breaking somthing.
Thanks for the quick responses.

no c-clips. as long as you've got the wheel hubs unbolted from the housing, the slide-hammer will do the rest.

I think the axle is like... inch and a half thick?
The only thing that will break is the hammer
