bent axle So A friend has bent his axle shattered his rim after hitting a curb when he lost control of the car during the rain. So we got a replacement rim and when he started to drive the car i noticed a squeek when closer inspection came I thought the rotor was bent because it was hitting the brake pad. Once we took the rotor off it was flat and perfect like nothing happened. So i looked at the axle hub and it was bent...
My question is how do i change the axle out. I have a new one awaiting to be put in.

Here's a quick write-up on the removal procedure. If you have an Auburn diff, it may look a little different, but not much.

Here's a site showing a gear change with pics. It's a bigger ring gear axle, but the procedure is the same as our 7.5./7.625 rear axle . Skip over the parts about the gear change and check out the pics about removing the c-clips and you'll get the idea.

I have a KTRE 12-bolt in my Camaro and need to pull the axles out (I think they're bent).
Aside from changing the gear oil, I've never worked on a diff / axles before and was hoping somone could tell me if the steps described above are applicable to a 12-bolt? When I had it installed I also specified a C-clip eliminator kit, will this bring me any surprises or headaches?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info, will the axles really just pull out? I really should know more about how they work, but can anyone give me a lesson on how the C-clip eliminator works?
