Anyone know of a step by step w/ pics how to remove rearend? So far I have brakes pulled, diff cover off, rear caps off, retaining bolt and caps off, and drive shaft dropped. Do I pull the rear yoke and just pull axles out? Also I didn't see any c clips, are they hard to see??

Are you trying to remove the rear end from the car or disassemble it?

Just disassemble.

you might be best served by removing the entire rear end. It sounds like you're attempting a rebuild, which I wouldn't do while its in the car. That's a royal pain.

If rebuilding def pull the whole thing.

If torsen rear you need to remove the paddle, if auburn a screw holds the pin in...After removal of pin or paddle you need a magnet to fish out the c clips. Then the axles pull right out. Only thing is if you have a 4ch tcs rear you need to remove the wheel speed sensors so you can push the axles toward the center a bit and then fish out the c clips.

The wheel speed sensors were in my way. Got the clips out and spent a good 10-15 mins trying to pry it out. I hope it all goes back in as easy to take out!

On the paddle does it only go in one way or a certain way? Just realized I didn't pay attention how I took it out.
